Classic - Friday night

Winds were calm, aka, non-existant. They called a fly in task, tip the out house. One of the first balloons in hit it, and of course, we were just taking off right when Aaron Gebhart hit the port-a-pot. Dad was the last one off, and he was accompanied by a very excited Brandon (on his 3rd flight, hence the three fingers.) Dad took off north-west of the field, missed the field & flew right over the parking lot (which is a no-no to land in). He flew on for a few miles & had a very soft road landing right at sunset. With all the water, the bugs were nasty & it was "hu-mug-ity" (new word provided by JoAnn).

Neil Diamond


Neil was great!!! They did not let us take pictures. And yes Carol when he sang Sweet Caroline, we changed it to Carol Ann.

Classic Blog??

Are we gonna do a blog for the classic like last year?? And if so, what is the site address?? I figure it would be a good idea, that way those that aren't there all week can keep up on the flights. I'll try to do a better job of keeping on top of it this year.
