Hot Air Balloon Flight Record - 11Jun2023
Russ

The forecast for Sunday was great, with light winds and clear sky. We had about 5 balloons planning to come out but fog in Sterling and Lowell convinced everyone else to go back to bed. The forecast still looked good so we continued out to the field.

The only fog we saw driving to the airport was in low areas, and not that much. We did keep a careful eye on the sky as we inflated. Margaret and first time Myong showed up so we put them to work.

Everything was still clear when we were ready to take off and we drifted slowly east. Once past the near by homes I was able to drop to tree top level. Past Willow Street I dropped into open area of the marsh wandered around. Eventually made a large circle before climbing up to move east again.

Eventually spotted the South Acton Train Station, but we were too far south of it, curving south east to land at Stonefield Farm (again) on the driveway and walk to the parking area to deflate.
