The usual perfect flight. |

Another perfect, high flight; this one recovered inside the fenced Boeing plant area, but was retreived by an employee who was watching rockets on his break. |

Completely nominal flight and staging, as always; recovered in-plant again. After this 50th flight, this rocket has been retired -- the stuffer tube is charred and delaminating on the interior, and it would be difficult, if not impossible to replace the stuffer; likely simpler to just build another one to fly, and let this one rest on its laurels. |

This is another old reliable design -- in production about as long as the Big Bertha, and with the same stellar pedigree (designed by Vern Estes himself). This flight was ust what one expects from this sort of rocket: perfect, as usual. |
