Rick Kramer was well known in the model rocketry community for flying some very unusual rockets. He enjoyed making rockets out of a variety of food containers and was a big fan of tube finned rockets. Despite the unusual design of many of his rockets they were always well build and flew successfully.
In honor of Rick's memory we have decided to declare the most unusual rocket flown at GARLO each year to be a Rick Kramer Memorial Flight. This page will list the winners of this award for each year starting with 2011.
