Roar At The Shore (RATS V)

In 1996 I made a 12 day holiday trip to New York City. It was my first trip to the USA and surely not my last.
There is (compared to Germany) a huge rocketry scene in the USA. And since I already 'knew' some people through the internet (r.m.r.) it was obvious that I'd try to meet some of them personally.
RATS V was a very good occasion for this.


Here are some of the >60 pictures which I took there.
If you know anything about which/whose rockets this are let me know. I can then add some descriptive text to the pictures.

Here we have "Son of Godzilla" flying on an Aerotech M1939 RMS motor. The rocket was scratch built from PML parts (mostly). Scott Ghiz and John Heinze built it. It flew successfully two times at the fall RATS launch... both times on the same motor (full M). Check out the home page with the details (follow the path "Rockets -> RATS -> Son of G...")
