Freedom Flight, McCook, NE - October 16, 2004

This non-competitive, "just for fun" rally takes place at the McCook airport.
Saturday morning's flight included 12 balloons and 3 powered parachutes.


Our sponsors and passengers were Bruce and Candy.  Bruce is the editor of the
McCook Daily Gazette.


Dawn's rosy glow paints the clouds as the balloon's burner illuminates from within.


Lifting off into the morning sky.


Two balloons beneath us play in the shifting winds along a ravine.


Bruce snaps an in-flight self portrait of himself and Candy.


A few moments later, Bruce spotted our reflection in a farm pond below.


Packing up after we landed in the road, between two unharvested fields.
