Friday mornings flight was SPECTACULAR! We took off with all 3 balloons together. The 3 balloons flew from our end of the field to the other and I really don't know what to call it other than SPECTACULAR!!!

 

Our first photos are from me. I was on the ground and enjoying the view.  

This is Josh. He has been my pen pal via email for about 2 years now. He came out last year and I wanted to get him into the flag then. The weather did not cooperate. Today it did. He is about a foot taller and it turns out that he can take a heck of a photo! Please see the next series of photos for Josh's amazing photos from America One.

 

 

 

 

 

 

America One landed in the nicest neighborhood in Corrales. Thank you for the use of your driveway and bushes.

   
The next series of photos is by Josh Dolin. He was in America One with instructions to take LOTS of photos. . He delivered in spades.

This is the first photo with balloons and wires I have ever seen that is really cool.
