Back in the air...

After nearly a month of being ground-bounded, I was able to fly three nights in a row prior to going into work midnight shifts. The first flight was with Duane, and much faster than I expected. I took off on the south of town and covered nearly 15 miles before a stand up landing in a backyard well north of town. The second flight was a slow flight to the southeast. Devin, a new student pilot in the area inflated and flew his balloon for the first time. There were thunderstorms to the northeast, so I made this a short flight to avoid any outflow concerns. Finally, Thursday night was a good flight, but the direction was due east and not northeast like I was anticipating. Because of this I ended up flying over powerline alley, before a nice landing at the water treatment plant.

Tuesday nights flight, what a strange night windwise!

High Hopes drifting off to the southeast.

Looks great Devin and Darcey!
