Model Forum / General / Rockets / July 2006Hey! They do listen -- sorta...
I subscribe to an aviation newsletter (http://www.avweb.com) Frequently they include a piece called "Short Final" which is a humorous story from someone's personal experience. Here's what came up today: > Short Final > > The following was an exchange between a friend and a pre-flight > briefer last weekend. The briefer got to the NOTAMS and there was one > for a rocketry club near Schaumburg, IL... > > Briefer : ... and Schaumburg has a warning that they'll be firing > rockets. > > My Friend: Man! First it's North Korea, now Schaumburg! > > It took the briefer about two minutes to stop laughing enough to > continue the briefing. So... Who was flying in Schaumburg last week?  SignatureGordon S.

Who was flying in Schaumburg last week? The Northern Illinois Rocketry Association flys in Glynn Ellyn which is less than 5 miles from the Schaumburg Airport. We had a LAUNCH there on July 16th. We DID NOT FIRE anything. We LAUNCHED rockets on motors ranging from A's to G's.
