NSL East 2024 with a side of Turkey & GRITS was a GREAT TIME!

We appreciated seeing everyone who came out to fly with SoAR at NSL East/GRITS 2024! We hope to see everyone again  this fall for GRITS 2025!

Rocket-powered Turkey

Why come to GRITS? Are you KIDDING me?!??

Seriously: come fly with us. We’ve got:

      • A 17,999 foot MSL altitude waiver (but we’re restricting flights to 15,000 feet).
      • A square mile of cleared recovery area (nothing but dirt) 4 square miles including forests
      • Fresh-cooked food for sale
      • Porta-potties with hand-washing stations for your convenience
      • Onsite vendors for all your rocketry and propellant needs
      • Raffle prizes featuring signed rockets and books!

It’s a GREAT TIME and you’ve GOT to be there!
