The USA 🇺🇸 did very well at these events. I chatted with several rocketeers, senior n juniors, and had a fun time. I even survived the Texas heat

Never seen a flood gauge before? You ain't from around those parts, is ya? 😂

A nice way to remember George Gassaway, whom I never met, but when he passed, a lot of people commented about him on the NAR website. Sounds like a pretty good guy.

Good video. Loved the corn fields. Glad you didn't get lost in there. And glad you didn't die!😅

Interesting events, senior and junior. It was a busy day for the timekeepers, multiple changes, short flying windows, and then it got hot in the afternoon… the senior division went all afternoon and in the end usa 🇺🇸 won gold

World spacemodeling championships- Day 2 parachute and streamer duration. Watch the video and like on YouTube

All the models were similar design, paper thin. This was the day when the contestants met the 3 dogs by the hangar. Let’s say the dogs won so in this case it was better to float over the corn field 😀 🌽
the day went well with many chats with Dan, Dennis, Jim B, Jim G, Alex ( Romania 🇷🇴) on the timekeeper team
