Map of the flight


This is a Google Earth version of the track and should open in your local Google Earth. For more information or to install Google Earth on your system, go to Google Earth.

Saturday forecast is very light winds and clear sky. Bob and Lori are preparing to get married Sunday with a less flight favorable forecast. Others are in Pittsfield for a Media flight.

We are the only balloon out and other than a fuel filter issue with the fan we inflated. Slow takeoff SE to drop into the grass runway and fly the runway extension.

Continuing SE I stayed low to avoid turning right/south up higher. This gave us a track for the Maynard Mill. As we approached I use the higher right to move over an line up with the Mill parking log. As we crossed the mill pond the wind got very light and we had to work to get across and land.
