 1/17/26 Launch is a GO!

 Setup for the launch will begin at 8:30am. There will be a Safety Briefing for all fliers at 9am. When that Safety briefing is completed launching can begin. The launch will end when there are no more rockets to fly, the weather shuts us down, or 4pm; whichever comes first.
The current forecast is for lows in the mid 20s to start with an expected high in the mid 30s. and winds will be 10mph for most of the day. There is no rain chance in the current forecast. Keep in mind we MUST halt flight operations if the wind speed is consistently above 20mph. Also, if a Red Flag warning is posted for the day the launch must be cancelled.
Apply sunscreen and stay hydrated.
Adult Flyer's Fee: $0 SCORE members, $5 for Non-members.
Due to an overwhelming number of existing T-shirts, all existing T-shirts are on sale for $10/each.
We prefer payments for items in cash.
Things to remember:
Critical Notice: Our flying site is an active horse & cattle ranch. It is necessary to pass through a gate to access the site. You must close and secure the gate immediately after you pass through it. If the cattle or horses are near the gate, please 'shoo' them away so that they cannot get out. They are gentle in nature and will move away from you as you approach them. Most of the time, if they are near the gate after several vehicles have gone through, they get the hint and will move away and stay away. The horses are more persistent about getting out, but they will eventually give up and 'move along'. Failure to follow this can cause the permanent loss of the flying site.
1. All fliers must sign the Landowner Waiver sheet that will be at the RSO\Safety Check table.
2. If you are intending to attempt a NAR or Tripoli High Power certification flight, there is a signup sheet for that at the same table.
3. NO alcoholic beverages may be consumed while the range is active. This includes beverages labeled non-alcoholic that are produced by companies that DO produce alcoholic beverages. Casual observers won't be able to tell the difference, and we want to set the best example possible.
4. NO smoking or electronic cigarettes are permitted on that range while the range is active.
5. NO running is permitted in the rocket prep area or around the launch pad area. We STRONGLY recommend that running does not occur anywhere on the range. There are numerous groundhog holes and other obstacles throughout the range and if you're not paying attention injuries can occur.
6. There will be a flag rope barrier to separate the rocket prep area and the active range. Please DO NOT go over or under this barrier. It is there for everyone's safety.
7. While rockets are in the air, it is important that you listen to what is going on. When a 'HEADS UP' is called stop what you are doing and look up and around to locate the concern. If it is a rocket descending into your general area, please point to the descending rocket and repeat the 'HEADS UP'. If the rocket is coming towards you, do not turn around and run blindly away. Instead, keep your eyes on it and step out of the path of the rocket as it approaches. Remember, it is a violation of the Safety Codes to catch a rocket.
8. There is an onsite Port-a-Potty for everyone's use. Please remember to close the lid when you have finished utilizing it. This helps keep the flying insect from getting where we don't want them to be. Also, it helps keep the proper air flow going.
We look forward to having a fun and safe launch!
