County Fair 4-H Rocketry group after fly day

Way cool!! I taught a 4H rocketry 40 years ago. The BIG BERTHA was a favorite. One of our more "colorful neighbors" was OCD for anything that went boom and made his own rockets with mini war heads. He wanted to launch one of his creations for the kids. It was a 2 stage. It went up about 30-40', fizzled and layed over on its side when the second stage went off. It shot about a 1/4 down along the county road before hitting an abandoned corrugated metal pump house. The kids loved it.
