Classic - Thursday morning

And our fearless leader has done it again!! We are seriously considering nominating him for the BCFA (Balloon Crew Federation of America) Pilot of the Year for his exemplary treatment of his crew. Short grass take offs, short grass landings, no big bad carry outs, and he swings by the pilot compound to pick us up, rather than making us walk all the way out to where the chase vehichles have to park! Although when we made the suggestion, he said that if it would keep his name out of the meeting, he might consider....., and left it at that.

He took off southeast of the field & had an awsome drop at the first target! He missed the second target to the west & the one at the field by about 10 feet. Since he was at the field, he took advantage of the great big landing spot & landed. Jo Ann, Brett, Tyler & I walked out to him with the bag (they wouldn't allow vehichles on until all the balloons were past), and got him all bagged up, so when Mom & Brandon drove out, all we had to do was load it up & go!
