Throwback Thursday Pic 3


Here's another picture from NARAM 17, 1975 in Orlando, Florida.
That's the Centuri booth. Behind the table is Bob DelPrincipe, one of the Centuri designers.
The sign says: "Pre-Production Super Kits".
The guy in the red shirt might be John Langford, he's now President and Chairman of Aurora Flight Sciences

  1. Funny, I just ordered the parts to make a Centuri Sky Lab clone and here I see one in the photo (lower left). While my friends and I ordered from both the Estes and Centuri catalogs in the 60's, to me Centuri had the "coolest" rockets. BAR geezer

    1. Hi BAR Geezer,
      I agree, I thought the Centuri kits had a certain edge. That and the 1973 catalog was far above the Estes catalog at that time.
