Flyers: 18
Flights: 50
Winners of the 2024 George Pike Award, Emmett and Brian White were out and flying in October. And while they had a number of flights in October, thier biggest was the signature Pig rocket.
Sporting a 3D printed nose cone (designed and printed by Emmett no less) and googly eyes, the Pork-Que-Lees has taken some beating in the past but still flys.

Emmett White demonstrates once again that with enough motor, pigs can indeed fly.
And don't forget the parachute for the way back down.
Nice flying Emmett. And Brian too!
