There were a bunch of great launches at Aeronaut 2011. I have shared the ones where I knew the owner. Here are the rest from Saturday where I don’t know who flew ’em. If it’s yours, just let me know and I’ll send you the full size and may have multiple shots.

These were some of my favorites. The one above reminds me of an old painting, with rocket.

And Ken put together a video of yet more launches, best viewed 720p full screen

    Same rocket as above, climbing on what looks like a K1100

    I found the owner of this one already but I wanted to share because it looks cool. Mike Keller ignited seven G80 motors at the pad. This is at liftoff, with a few not up to pressure yet:
