Who's shooting rockets at CO planes?

Rogue model airplane hobbyists, terrorists, conspiracy theorists — these are all characters in the growing mystery over renegade rockets that had close encounters with two Continental planes as they flew from Houston’s busiest airport.

For the second Memorial Day weekend in a row, a Continental plane had a run-in with a rocket in Chambers County from an unknown source shortly after leaving Bush Intercontinental.
