Linda had called us from Michigan, wanting to surprise her friend Dave with a
balloon flight over his rural Iowa property.

We set up Dreamtime in the yard of Dave's house.


Anita and Dave's neighbor Jeff holding the mouth in the pre-sunrise chill.


Jeff warms to the idea of crewing.


Up comes the envelope.


We're ready to launch as the first rays of sun peek over the hill.


It was a beautiful flight over the hills and valleys of western Iowa.


Complete with a stand-up, roadside landing.
