Thanks everyone for the great sign-up and support of DA2014!
I see we have a lot of folks signing up to help out - I wish there were
more new people, I am not sure why everyone is so bashful. Working the
flight-line can be fun,
you can meet rockets and people and see what is flying, when and where and
help folks out... it is a fun break from prepping and/or recovery drama.
Also, I see the Nike drag-race sign-up has Karl, Ron, Gary, Steve and Jimmy
and myself ... I was hoping we could have more than 6 fliers, but maybe we
can
convince someone else to join.. like Jack, or Richard, or Zylstra, or Aidan
..
Looks like maybe we need to do a few heats of Nike Drag launches ... :-)
