Fly to the Sky 2008-4.5

Almere, 30 August, 2008 - This added DRRA launch day was not on their usual site near Almere, but in the Frisian Wolsum. This new launch site is a fine site, although a bit further from Alblasserdam. The weather was very good this day. Again the turn up was low, but those who attended launch many rockets. Afterwards there was a barbeque, but we did not participate as we still had a long drive home to do. I have heard the barbeque was a great success.

Finally I would like to thank the farmer, for letting us use his lands.

Unfortunately I don't have all the names of the rockets and their builders. If you know the name of a rocket and/or builder, please mail the NAVRO
For those interested in more pictures of their rocket(s), feel free mail the NAVRO, as I have more pictures of most rockets. Besides that, I have both these and the ones shown below in a better resolution.
