Launches at large fields bring out large rockets. This was certain at the National Sport Launch East held in south Georgia 11/22-23 and run by the Southern Area Rocketry (SoAR) NAR Section. National launches offer more amenities like multiple vendors, food trucks, t-shirts, and raffle prizes. They attract the best rocketeers who bring their coolest and biggest rockets to show and fly. There are many rockets to watch and many people to watch them.

The unseasonable warm mornings began with fog but gave way to blue skies in the afternoons allowing the HPRs to explore the 15K’ altitude waiver. The NSLE was also held here by SoAR in 2024 but it will be in Geneseo, NY, Memorial Day weekend next year.
