2 flights, 491 N-sec burned
The weather was spectacular for the week leading up to the launch, but a front rolled through Saturday night, making the ground soggy and the clouds low. A call to the local Purdue tower, however, revealed that despite the rain, we had a ceiling of 5000 feet - game on! John flew his Mongoose 54 again for a successful L1 cert (congrats!) and I put up two flights to quench the APCP hunger. After the launch, the group retired to the local Wendy's in Battle Ground to warm up and trade rocket stories.
