Memorial Day at Jefferson

I just gotta say -- we have the very best pilots and crew here in the PNW! Seven balloons flew from Jefferson High School on Monday. Due to the critical time of the year for crops, the landing sites were the Albany airport, Timber Linn Park or several small areas around the airport. Four landed on the airport in a nice neat row, two landed in park and the other made it to a manufactured home park. We had very fast upper winds - reports of 19, 22, 26 mph. The flights were fast and short, time-wise. About 7 miles as the crow files. We ended the morning with a nice after flight brunch at local crew John and Margie's house. Thank you to all, you made me proud.

Thanks Marianne for planning a great day and to John and Margie for the use of their home. It was great fun.
