Congratulations to Nic for this long overdue accomplishment. Nic (and
several other Aussies) made the long expensive trek to Black Rock last year
and were unable to fly due to weather. He left his rocket with me for the
past year, and left with every intention of returning and flying it as
planned. Your persistence has paid off Nic. I look forward to the
announcement from the Tripoli record committee.
Mike
