Our first 3 are of Rod Stevenson's "Red Thing" on a G106 Skidmark.

Coming off the rod!

And that's the way it's supposed to go!

Rod on the way back. Rod's other hobby is making crop circles.

Gotta love those smokey motors!

TOO COOL!

We have ignition!

Liftoff! We love to see the dirt fly!

Houston, we have a problem!

Not quite the flight we had in mind...

Ever have one of those days...

Eject Maverick!

Not surprised! That dang flux capacitor will get you every time!

Actually, we hate to see such a beautiful rocket end so quickly but from time to time it happens. You try to joke at a time like this, otherwise you might cry and like Tom Hanks said, "There's no crying in baseball or rocketry!"

While it may not look like it I'm sure much of this one can be salvaged to fly another day.

Thanks Pete for another great of group of photos!
