Time to fire up the Tea Cart Rocket. They're going through the "setting off the rocket" check list. Note the fire extinguisher, and hearing protection already on most people.
Foosh!
All fooshed out, for the moment. The rocket is water-cooled, so after a firing, the blue water bottle on the shelf under the rocket contains warm-to-hot water.
Let's do it again!
Foosh!!
Cut off!

More Tea Cart Rocket firing, this time at night!
Herbie Hancock will fire the Tea Cart Rocket.
Herbie Hancock fires the Tea Cart Rocket. Foosh! Wish I'd thought of getting video of the Tea Cart Rocket being fired. :-/ Next time!
All fooshed out. That was a long 20 seconds. Party's over for the night.
Russian plane one of the guys came in with.
Camo paint on the starboard wing of the Russian plane. I wonder what they were trying to blend in with.
