Flight Log - 2011-08-30 - Paul Nortness's "Big Black"
Estes Mean Machine built with a Semroc BT60 ejection baffle. Avast! I had nay yet added t' decals and just had it painted all black when me wife asked "When are you goin' t' launch Big Black?" (her bein' a big fan o' t' MTV show "Rob and Big")....so me Estes Mean Machine was hence forth dubbed "Big Black". I went t' Michael's and got some gold letterin' and put "Big Black" on t' side o' t' rocket and "Do Work" towards t' nose.
