Southern Thunder 2008 http://www.hararocketry.org/HARA/Gallery/Pages/Southern_Thunder_2008.html Southern Thunder is the biggest event of the year for HARA and our co-sponsor, the Music City Missile Club (MC)2. This year was no exception - in addition to the research launch on Friday, many, many rockets - of all sizes and impulse classes - took to the sky on Saturday and Sunday. This gallery contains pics of some of the action - enjoy!
