2020 was a tough year. Rocketry really helped some of us get through it. I took a recorder along to almost every launch I went to, and the result is this 2-part series, Field Notes 2020. Because of the uncertainty, I wasn&#8217;t sure I&#8217;d be able to fly at all this past year. The NAR prohibited organized club launches for a while, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Eventually, I made it out to some casual, 2-3 person launches. And then the clubs were able to fly again. Despite the difficulties, I might have had more actual flights this year. At club launches, I spend a lot of time chatting with people, and don&#8217;t always fly as much as I mean to.&#160; Informal launches are where I fly much more frequently in fewer hours&#8217; time. I introduced Little N00b to flying this year. He seemed to enjoy it, for a bit, until the excitement became a little too much for him. Two A-motor flights to start the year &#8211; it was better than nothing. I finished a few new builds early in the summer, and they looked quite nice. I get nervous flying a model rocket when it turns out too nice, but they&#8217;re made to fly, so I eventually make myself do it (when the wind isn&#8217;t too bad!). I flew my first Semroc models, the Cherokee D and Bandit, two &#8220;Retro-Repro&#8221; kits from earlier Estes designs. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1115" src="https://themodelrocketshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/IMG_9948-770x513.jpg" alt="" width="770" height="513"...
