Morning breaks and backs begin to creak. We vist the Cafe for the first of many frosty receptions and bacon rolls. It's also the first flying day, and Pete & Angela arrive. This is the moment we had been waiting for to assimilate Pete Davy into the North Star Rocketry Group.
Pete asked if you could join the NSRG several months ago. After much deliberation and consideration of "Vendor dues" and group discounts at Pete's Rockets, we decide to let him in. When better to present him with his membership card than at the IRW?
There were flying session in both the afternoon and the evening, and we took full advantage.
