Randy Ogata's PageAKA: Flyfishingdds Location: Seattle area Favorite Rockets: Goblin - now Moon Mutt or Silver Streak (twins) Biography: Father of two boys
Both love the Museum of Flight
Purchased a Moon Mutt set from the gift shop and have been shooting rockets on regular basis
Used to do this with my father 30+ years ago and still have a Goblin, Starship Vega and Gemini Titan that we will introduce the boys to later. Right now trying to keep to mini moters. Found my old field box at my parents - including old launch systems,engines, wadding, repair supplies.
Favorite Quote: Safety first, Fun will Follow
Or fans of old SNL "I'm a doctor, not a tailor damn it"
