Must be the era . I've run across more than one cow pasture in the past looking for my 'chute. I saw a model of one of the Prodyne engines I used in the Smithsonian. <sigh>
Just got back into model rockets after a brief 50-year hiatus. Just got my High Powered Rocketry Level 1 certification. Level 2 this Spring. Level 3 - not sure when / if, but likely 2020.
