Looking up

Boston from way up in the air in Salem

You’ll notice that we’re looking UP at those treetops. Just brushed them.

Landing

Eight people went in this basket

“soft landings, friendly landowners, gentle winds”

Prepping the basket

The whole balloon comes out of this bag.

Testing 1, 2, 3

That’s a lot of fire

Laying out the balloon

Using a fan to inflate

Note Nikki for scale

FIRE

Ready to lift off

Holy crap, we’re off the ground
