Hot Air Balloon Flight Record - 15Apr2017
Tom / flight review

First flight of the year, we finally got a good window for Saturday morning. Bob and David also came out, Bob tethered to allow student practice with varying balloon loads.

I headed ENE, initially climbing to clear the area, but above 200 the winds were moving 13+ so once over the forest we dropped to tree top level for a slow flight. After crossing Summer street we were over wetlands and could fly even lower and slower. Eventually crossed RT111, dropped low again and turned W over more wetlands heading for Applewood Dr that leads to houses N of RT111.

David passed overhead, continuing NE, and we continued low and slow W toward the dry road. Dropped in for a nice dry stand-up landing and pack up.
