The Roswell
Vidroc Flights Ground Activity
2.24.2001
Schwa doing the pre-flight inspection |

Flight 1 away ! (and return) The recovery charge delay apparently was too long for the altitude, it blew way too late, so... |
..the chute opened at a high rate of decent and the camera broke free. The damage wasn't all that bad, considering. The real loss was we had forgotten to put the Video Walkman in RECORD mode. |
Note the Hot Air Balloon on the horizon |
Flight 2 away! (straight and true) - then back safe on the ground |
That balloon sure is purdy... |
Hey, look a Roswell UFO (Unexpected Flight Objective), get the balloon! |
Too low, too fast, too bad. The crash site was ironically beautiful, almost didn't want to move it. |
Burried in that mess, the altimeter was still chirping away |
Down range just a bit |
Yummy, a cup of camera. |
