Not as many flight shots today though the few I got are nice. It was extremely windy in excess of 15mph much of the day (its amazing more tents did not fail)

I made some new camera boosters including the worlds smallest model rocket with onboard video :-) a wee 18mm tube finned model. I put it up on a B4-4 with a 9" chute and it cleared the field and then half way up the next hill. thankfully someone was already there and grabbed it for me.

LCO asked it I was ready to go on 3 (larger model camera down D12-3 30" chute. I said ahhh NO I won't launch this one today :-) hehe I also have a couple pics and audio from the competitors briefing and George got some pics as well! Also a neat video of a demo D3 RMS reload from Aerotech!
