Re: Near midair-collision over Kagel ridge on Sunday 12/19/2021

Re: Ooops I did it again

I’d like to give Nancy Ballard a shout out. as we were together on my first blown launch since 83, i neglected to wait for the All clear. Thank God Fred had afforded her the same treatment a week before. I wasn’t so fortunate to get away from the hill. Thank god Fred did
