Rocketeers Blast Off As Lebanon Hosts NARAM-53 July 22-29 2011

 

3....2....1....Blastoff!!!  Love model rockets?  Then you need to come out to National Association of Rocketry Annual Meeting 53 (NARAM-53) at Lebanon Sports Complex (900 McClure Rd, just off US 42 just south of Lebanon) from July 22-29.  The event is FREE, and is held daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

We're not talking rinky dink kit models from Toys 'R Us, we're talking big boy toys here!  These rockets are capable of 1800 feet in altitude!  And these aren't kit rockets either.  Hand built, from scratch, precisely assembled and with some SERIOUS juice powering them!

The first three days of the event are exhibition flying and the host suggests these days might be the best for spectators, with potentially 100 rocket launches an hour!

So if you're looking for some FREE entertainment that'll make you feel like a kid again....and who knows, maybe start you down the path to joining these folks?  Come out to Lebanon Sports Complex for NARAM-53!

Check out this video from last year's meet!

Mark, Not sure where the event was held last year, but pretty cool to get it here.  Hadn't heard it was coming, may need to swing by over the weekend.

Bliz, This is great Fun and Entertaining too! I was trying to remember that movie that was made about those high schools kids who had a successful rocket launch, and one of them went on to be a scientist at NASA in Houston.

You're right BLiz, nothing rinky dink about these rockets.  Amazing that they are all made from hand too...no kits.

Joni, Some of these "models" would give NASA rocket envy! :)

Jerry, Quick Google search says "October Sky".

Anita, It may be a hobby, but it's serious work for those involved.  Reminds me of the RC airplane hobbyists.  Had a client that was into it, BIG planes with a lot of complexity.

Tim, With almost a 1/3 of a mile altitude on some of these, I'm surprised they can see them at all to track them down!

Brenda, Tish will be jealous!  FREE and EDUCATIONAL :)

Bliz, now that would be a lot of fun. They've gotten pretty sophisticated and technically advanced over the years.

Michael, Got out there for a few minutes this morning to watch a few launches.  The REALLY big ones weren't out to play, but they had well controlled, SAFE launch systems in place for everyone :)
