Brandon and Tyler fly





We had to wait for the wind gusts to die some last night, but eventually a pole grab was called at the field. Balloons went out into the country side east of the balloon field to find a launch location that would allow the winds to steer them back into the field. Brandon flew with Mark and made it to the field just as the targets were closing. Tyler flew with Max and landed just north of the field in property that was previously owned by Fay King.

This morning a five part task was called. 33 pilots scored on the first target (a maximum distance double drop), but no one was able to make it to any of the other targets. Attached are a picture or two from the launch site.
