Florida - Balloon Flight

29/02/2016 - Andrew Holly

An amazing flight in the sunshine. Flying from the driveway of Art Hodges house, we had a fabulous flight of an hour splashing and dashing in five different lakes. Amazing visibility this morning and perfect weather with light to no wind on the ground and a good speed just above. Steerage was incredible this morning allowing us to navigate into every lake on our route. We had permission to land on one of the gated communities and made quite the stir.... So we has just gone inside to make us tea and everyone else has helped us pack away. Flying Art Hodge, crew chief Johnnys father, this is the first time in three years he has flown after retiring from being a professional ballon pilot himself. Now Art wants an Ultramagic Tekno and start flying again.... Significant day as state 25 starts the second half of the states but also this is the third of four corners. California, Washington and now Florida. Today we head north.....
