Heh... don't take away all our participants. :-)  Just kidding. But so far
there are only three of us going to Crater Assault 3 that I know of.  I'm
hoping I'll hear from some more.  But three is enough that it will happen.

I looked at the Hiller Aviation museum's web page about the event...
   http://www.hiller.org/jetpack.shtml
It looks like sort of a Jet Pack Day.  It should be fun - but bring
ear protection!  Rocket-anythings aren't exactly quiet.  It's probably
something to do with the supersonic exhaust. :-)

I noticed one of the sponsors is GoFast Energy Drinks - they were also the
major sponsor of the CSXT Space Shot 2004, which Stratofox recovered.  The
president of GoFast came along with many others in the convoy that we led
when we recovered it.  If you get a chance to mention Stratofox, any of
them who were there would remember us - the whole thing was an unforgetable
experience.  I don't know if the same people will be at this event.
