Wow, where has the time gone? As we
edge into December, the weather has gotten a
little wet and certainly a lot colder. Also, the
official flying season has since passed. But
for us in the Antelope Valley, it is merely just
another season.
At the field, we had the AVC Engineer-
ing Class perform there final project which
included the launch of mid-power rockets.
The weather was cold and wet, but there
were around fifteen launches with some rock-
ets still in the desert.
Coming up on December 5th, is our
Christmas Party and Merry making get to-
gether. The party will be held at Vince’s Piz-
za and Pasta on 30th Street West and Ave L.
The festivities will begin around 6:00 PM.
There will many prizes given away. I hope
to see everybody there.
Coming up on January 18th is the
Boy Scout Rocket Launch. The rockets will
be launched off of the main way from 8:00
AM till about noon. Members are encour-
aged to bring any rockets out to launch.
The main runway will be closed for this evo-
lution.
The TransAmerica Tour has been
cancelled due to the lack of volunteering
clubs. This is unfortunate as we were look-
ing forward to participating.
Until then, keep those wings level!
