Jackson Sunday morning - 2007

 And a perfect morning it was. When Jackson has nice weather, it tends to make for spectacular balloon photos. Sunday was one of those days.

Thanks to all of our loyal returning crew and all of the new crew that came out to work on these balloons. We couldn't do it without you!

I have a special request- I'm wondering if any balloonist got photos of all three of our balloons from the air on Sunday morning. If you do, and wouldn't mind sending them, please email here.

Great friends Tammy & Judy. Judy is the photographer for both of our balloon cards this year.

All three of our balloons get ready to fly! An amazing sight and a rarity. Other than Albuquerque, this is the only event this year that they will be together.

Group Launch!

 

 

Barry gets the 'Radowski' landing award for the weekend. That means, landing a balloon in a space smaller than the balloon.

Danny proves that he can find a crew accessible landing area.

 

 

 

Jim flew in Flighthouse. He has been faithful crew in Jackson for us for 3 years! Thanks Jim.

At a banquet full of balloonists, it is generally not a good idea to have balloon bouquets.

Part of the competition. Balloonists get as close to a target and throw their hula hoop on top of it.

 

 

 

Barry also gets the 'Tree Hugger' award on this landing.

Some of our fantastic crew helping extricate Barry from the tree.

 

 

Wow!! Is this a picture that belongs on a brochure, or what?

 

The cart tire went 'BOOM'!
