4/4 in flight ballast agree....

Hahahaha... 4 days and 4 great flights.

Day 1. Interesting winds. Nice over the top roll to a comfy landing over vehicles right into the outstretched arms of the ground crew.

Day 2. Very ODD winds. Nothing you could guarantee would be there when you got there. Dropped into an open field from 700 ft up... straight down and looking straight down while going down.. wow... Crew... right there... didn't even touch the ground.

Day 3. Low speed low winds with cracking fast middle winds. Up, over and round ( no box for me ) and down to a nice touchdown over a sapling... crew where there before I could call.

Day 4. Moderately nice winds on the ground. 15 mph about 500 feet up. Going right to the Rio Grande. Down and into the river. Up over the trees with another balloon kissing us... the nerve! Then a picture perfect landing and into the hands of the crew again.

Five more days to go. The crew are all fantastic. The obstacle course, the barbed wire, the hills to climb and rushes into the bushes.... they are great. Wish I had patches that said.. Crew level 10! Kick Ass Krew! Hmmmmm........

Pictures are processing now. The vid cams had some problems... Forward cam worked great. The Rear cam decided to switch to photograph from video mid flight then corrupt everything.

Here are some of the shots from today... No editing.

Awesome day of pics...

Lots more heading to the website once they are cleaned up.

Ride balloons... Expensive ride with some elbow room..
