==SLRA Fall Launch, September 30, 2017, Addieville IL==

This launch was special to me, as it was the first time (and, as it turned out, the only time) that my Dad got to come to a launch to see my rockets fly. He passed away the next spring.

I flew Buster on an Aerotech M1500 motor with green propellant.
