Hot Air Balloon Flight Record - 23Jul2023
Carl and Margaret

We finally got a weekend with good weather for ballooning. Bob, Rudi, and Steve were also out this morning. Campers at the airport had cars in the parking lot so Rudi and Steve moved inside the fence to inflate.

Bob was off first and I was next. We drifted into the grass runway and dropped low to slowly float around until Steve and Rudi caught up. Climbing first headed SSE, higher turned S. Bob and I were near 62 with Steve and Rudi a little further W.

Bob headed for Collings and found the final low level approach turned E across the river. He ended at the north end of the "runway". Using the pibal knowledge I extended my S track to mid field before dropping to turn E over the airplane museum and land in the parking field to deflate in the dry parking lot at the tank museum.
