Some Additional Background History                    
I originally started flying rockets in 1970 while in junior high school.  Those were all Estes model rockets flown on A-D motors.
I launched more model rockets in the early 1980's including a few on the "big" F100 motors from Flight Systems.
In 1994 Scott and I started launching model rockets together.  We flew quite a few on A-F motors.
In 1995 I started recording all of my flights.  The entries above are all the flights I have made since July of 1995.
