NERRF 5 will be held August 14-16, 2009

at METRA’s Pine Island, NY field
Location is the same enormous sod farm as previous NERRFs
surrounded by a 2 mile by 2 mile recovery area of farmland
Accessible from all the North Eastern US
Only 65 miles northwest of NYC

The first 4 NERRF’s were great successes, with over 250 fliers participating last year. Rockets of every size, shape and color will fly during this 3-day event. Whether you fly 2 oz. "minis" or 100 lb. High Power “Level-3” rockets, NERRF is for you. If you enjoy flying or watching at a beautiful sod farm, browsing the 15 vendors who will be there and enjoying great food, join us at NERRF.
