Vintage Rockets - 1995 & 1996

Here's video of my original Tripoli certification flights back in high school.  The quality is horrible, but that's what happens when you copy a VHS tape 3 or 4 times over the years and then try to covert it to digital.  These flights bring back a lot of good memories.  We used to launch on Saturday mornings at a private grass runway airport on the outskirts of town.  The Level 1 flight was on an H-something "Smokey Sam" expendable motor.  This was a dual-deploy rocket using an Adept ALTS2 altimeter.  The Level 2 flight was on an Aerotech J350 reload.  Also a dual-deploy rocket using the ALTS2.
