We had an ugly stick that fired little Estes rockets.

I have always wondered if the Colonel and that man with the funny hat that used to come watch us firing those things off got the idea from that little field in Hondo, Texas so many years ago.
I know Outrider well...any time you get to NAS Pax, (60 miles south of DC), I'll give you a tour.
