Marty Weiser launch report
November 08, 2009
We held SPARC's last scheduled launch of the year today under reasonable conditions. Joe Cooney was our launch director. One of Joe's favorite holidays is Halloween and he was very happy to have signed up lead the launch on Halloween. Unfortunately, some things came up and the launch had to be postponed until Nov. 7.
When I heard about this I hunted down Joe's long lost evil twin brother Jack
O'Cooney and talked him into coming to our launch to try to make Joe feel
better. Jack and Joe finally met this afternoon and I have posted three
pictures to the NW Rocketry Image Gallery.

The fight was good, but could have used an even shorter delay that the XS
that I used in the I284. He broke a leg during landing which is what I was
afraid might happen - easily repaired. I had a great time building Jack and
most days was wondering if it was legal to have that much fun.
