OK fess up... Who launched the windmill and what motor did you use?

Actually, might have been Aliens - the Beyond Earth guys once used (abused) our site.

The windmill is gone? Bet you it was metal salvage thieves...

No rockets ever landed on the windmill and now they can't 😥

Patty Netherton wins closest to the windmill - her rocket landed in the tank, fortunately frozen at the time. I can remember climbing up on that structure and some of the others to get a better look around for missing rockets. But lost or missing rockets often turn up after the aliens are done with 'em. A Tiny Pterodactyl came home with me yesterday that someone found while out walking around. Let me know if it's yours. And maybe the windmill will come back with new solar-powered turbines attached.

Man! That windmill was awesome for hunting pronghorn. You'd climb up and the little guys rarely look above 6' so you'd be able to get much closer than normal - plenty close for a bow.

Lets just hope they don't replace that one windmill with a wind farm, that would just suck! Knocking on wood.

I'm guessing that Warren's right. With the cost of metals skyrocketing with everything else, it wouldn't take someone very long with a sawzall to fill their pickup.

I'm guessing the windmill was still in use for cattle...it did have a wagon wheel pattern of trails around it.

And getting back to the topic of the launch ... 😉

Big thanks to Joe H. and all the other folks in the club who do all the work and make it fun and easy for guys like me to show up, fly some rockets, and watch everybody else! You guys are awesome. What can I do to help next time?

I brought some friends out and they really had a ball - a guy who had flown in his youth and was thinking about getting into it again with his sons. They were blown away by the HPR stuff. I think you'll be seeing them on the range again.

For myself, while I love the LPR stuff and had a ball flying my entire stable (11 launches by noon!) I missed doing an HPR launch. Look for my Firestorm 54 in October for my L2 flight!
