Jerry watches as his Expiditer Extended heads up on an I-211.

And while the Expiditer didn't land in the infield (as is usual for Jerry), he was able to locate it without too much trouble.

Jeff Dick (in the pits, at left) watches his new bird Chimera head upwards (below) on a K-535 for a beautiful launch.

Jeff was only a couple of launches shy of the George Pike award last year so watch out for him this year!

Jeff's Chimera makes a great smoke trail as it heads upward on its madien flight, at left.

And the parachute deployment was picture perfect as well (below).

Unfortunately the drone shot below tells the sad story.

We at TRIPOLI Pittsburgh never like to see our members looking up at the trees like this.

Sorry it couldn't have worked out better, Jeff.
