WIlliam Sublett and his son William Sublett have been coming to TRIPOLI Pittsburgh launches for the last couple of years and frequently fly a fair number of rockets.

The William Subletts

WIlliam Sublett (the Fourth) helps his son, William Sublett (the Fifth) setup his Flip Flyer on the low power pads.

WIll sets up a bunch of goodies for sale in the pits prior to getting to the flying.

"I have a few too many", said Will.

Don't we all?

The Sublett's Zombie Max heads up off of the low power pads on a sparky motor.

Son supervises Dad as he sets up their Hi-Flyer XL.

Dad supervises Son as he sets up a naked rocket on the low power pads.

Not all of the Sublett launches went off the low power pads.

Will loads a great looking Patriot onto one of the high power pads.

William Sublett has a novel way of encouraging his son.

Money.

"Ten bucks if it lands standing up.", Will says as it drifts down under parachute.

Will Sublett's Patriot decends on parachute for an easy recovery.

William Sublett spends a lot of time helping out his son, which is to be expected.

But if you talk to him, he'll spend some time with you as well.

And you may find that he is a pretty nice guy with a lot of knowledge.
