Highlights
Beautiful weather! Leah did her first launch with the Alpha III. Silver Comet ejected nose cone on both flights, but parachute stuck in the body tube. The second flight landed in the street, severly damaging the body tube. The Transwing Glider arced over as always, broke on the second flight (yeah!).
