   awesome links.

   RocketGuy1317: I like the detail and build photos on that page. It really gives a sense of the effort behind just one of the many projects that flew that weekend.

   Actually, two of the Three Amigos designed and built this rocket, Grant Saviers and Bob Feretich. While the second stage wind cocked into the 40kt winds aloft and was sighted as a UFO at 21,000′ in Gerlach, both stages sans nosecone were recovered 3 miles south of the launch site. We’ll be back!
