Hello Gary,
Greetings from Arizona! By way of introduction, my name is Terry White. I
live in Oro Valley, Arizona which, is situated in the northwest sector of
Tucson. I am a member of the National Association of Rocketry (NAR 11184),
the Southern Arizona Rocketry Association (SARA), and incidentally, the
Rocketry Organization of California (ROC). I have been flying rockets out
at Lucerne Dry Lake since Saturday, 06 August 1966. Note that I am
currently HPR Level 1 certified and working towards Level 2 certification.
My purpose in contacting you is to ask for your assistance in finding a
pyrotechnic operator. I have secured FAA clearance (COA: WSA-2124-RKT-REV
1) to fly out at Lucerne on Saturday, 31 July 2021. We are cleared for
flight ops to 4,000 feet AGL with a maximum of six (6) HPR launches taking
place between 0600 and 1300. Each vehicle will be powered by either a
single "H" or "I" rocket motor.
I am aware that California safety regs require that a pyrotechnic operator
be onsite during HPR flight ops. Could you introduce me to the person or
persons within ROC who are pyrotechnic operators? I am happy to cover the
person's expenses for the trip to, time at, and return trip from the dry
lake. As a tangible show of my gratitude for their assistance, they will
receive compensation in the amount of two-hundred dollars ($200).
In closing, I only come out to Lucerne once a year. We typically fly "F"
and "G" powered mid-power rocket motors, but I would really like to fly "H"
and "I" powered HPR rocket motors at my all-time favorite launch site. At
71 years of age, my days of coming out to Lucerne to fly rockets are
numbered. Any assistance you can render in securing a pyrotechnic operator
on this occasion would be most appreciated!
Thank you for your time and assistance!
