Airdrie Launches: Please note it is not necessary to purchase a membership in Calgary Rocketry to participate in the weekend Airdrie model launches. These launches only require a CAR membership. As a convenience the Airdrie organizers offer one-day temporary memberships in CAR for $5 which can be purchased the same day as the launch.
