This morning, we accompanied Steve on the first flight of his new envelope, Celebration.
Steve lights the burner as we inflate Dreamtime in the background.
Steve, between our balloon and Gene's.
The view from Steve's basket as we lift off from Lake Zorinsky.
The lake surface is like a mirror.
Elane took pictures of us, taking pictures of them.
A view from the ground as we head to the west, following Steve.
This was our view of Steve over Millard.
Crossing 204th and Harrison, on our way to the river. We're doing about 25 mph here.
The Platte River, just upstream from its confluence with the Elkhorn.
We caught up with Rich, who had launched from Waterloo. Rich and Steve will land in that green pasture just
beyond Rich's balloon.
Looks like we're flying right above our own shadow.
