TRA Records Committee | Published on 7/21/2025
Tripoli Rocketry Association is proud to announce that John Clifton of Smyrna, Georgia, has officially joined the ranks of our Million Feet Award recipients!

A Level 3 certified flyer and dedicated member since 1999, John has now surpassed 1,000,000 feet of cumulative altitude across multiple high-power rocket flights. This milestone highlights not only his technical skill and persistence but also his long-standing commitment to the rocketry community.

About the Million Feet Award

The Million Feet Award celebrates those Tripoli members who have achieved a cumulative altitude of 1,000,000 feet or more. This total can be reached over any number of flights using certified or research motors in configurations ranging from single-stage to complex cluster or multi-stage rockets. All altitudes must be verifiable through proper documentation.

Please join us in congratulating John Clifton on this outstanding accomplishment. His passion and perseverance continue to elevate the spirit of amateur rocketry.
