Fly to the Sky 2 picture page

Almere, 9 May, 2009 - Fly to the Sky 2 was hot on the heels of NAVRO's own NLD29 just a day before. The wind conditions had improved significantly, as a day before the rockets could only just be launched, but today the wind almost disappeared. Many fine launches were seen this day, by only a handful of participants. Highlight of the day was the extreme low parachuting by newcomer Stephen Schulte.
