Steve Palmer invited some of us from theStratofox Aerospace Tracking Teamto join in on thefireworks show he runs for the town of Cameron Park.I had met Steve at the CSXT space launch in May, where he and some of his family membersparticipated and earned their memberships in Stratofox.Though the invitation for this event came when we talked again whenall of us attended as spectators at the launch ofSpaceShipOneon June 21. I had never seen this side of a fireworks show before.Even with the seriousness necessary in following instructions,it was a lot of fun to set up.And of course it was even more fun to watch the show and take pictures -but by that point the experts at the computer controls were doing allthe work.It is a different experience to watch a fireworks show thatyou participated in constructing.Even with pride aside, the people of Cameron Park watching from around thelake got an excellent show, especially for the size of town that it is.You could hear the cheers of the excited and appreciative audiencefrom all directions. Given the opportunity, I would definitely do this again. If you like these, I also have pictures from the2005 downtown San Jose fireworks.
