This morning's flight departed from the Sarpy County Fairgrounds, as part of a fundraiser for St. Margaret Mary's School.
Gabe and Duane hold the mouth while I add the heat.
Jerry and Betty are ready to take flight. This was their third balloon ride, and they wore commemorative t-shirts from their visit to the US National Balloon Championships in Indianola, IA.
A post-flight toast. Thanks to our crew, Gabe, Brad, Anita, and Duane for making it possible.
Jerry later wrote an article about this flight, titled "Flying like the wind," that appeared in the August 21, 2010 Omaha World-Herald.
