Once again, the skies over McGregor Texas were filled with high power rockets. Sponsored by the Dallas Area Rocket Society, the first annual St. Patrick's Day launch took place the weekend of March 16th and 17th, 2002. Conditions did not look good the morning of the 16th; skies were low and the wind was blowing strong out of the north. However, conditions improved rapidly and by noon we were flying under perfectly clear skies with winds dropping off to less than 10 mph for the rest of the day.
