Flight Log - 2015-04-24 - Bill Eichelberger's Estes - AIM-120 AMRAAM

Picked this up for me son at NARAM 43 in 2001.  He started buildin' it, then lost interest in t' hobby.  Fourteen years later I finished it and gave it a first flight, and possibly t' last. Begad!  300' flight that never looked t' be in trouble.  I was gettin' recovery pics and put t' camera down expectin' t' see t' rocket layin' on t' ground, but it snagged a branch 25 feet up. Well, blow me down!  Supposed t' rain tonight.
