We also have facilities for Free Flight, Model Rocketry and Amateur Astronomy. The Tucson Free Flight Club manages a separate 3 square mile field exclusively for free flight. For those interested in model and high-power rocketry, the Southern Arizona Rocketry Association holds launches every month. In addition, the Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association has regular Star Parties and are in the process of building several observatories at TIMPA.
