Field of Flight

So I finally caught up on some much needed sleep. Here are some more photos from the Field of Flight event. It was a lot of work, but I had a blast. I have never videotaped planes or hot air balloons before so it was definitely a great experience! I am so glad to hear that everyone had a wonderful weekend!!

I want to post some video soon. Once we get all of our footage organized and captured into the computers, I will be able to get the footage that I shot, so you all will be able to watch some of it. I took a couple of short videos with my camera too , so I'll see if I can get those posted soon. For now, I hope you enjoy the pictures :)

At the beginning of the airshow, a sky writer came out and spelled airshow and drew a smily face :)

These are the Thunderbird jets in their famous "diamond" formation. I have some video of this for Brian :P


This is the hot balloon I rode in. It's named, Tickled Pink and is piloted by Mike Nelson. His crew is his family, which I thought was really cool.

Me receiving my champagne toast from Mike after my morning flight.

This is the platform that I spent the weekend on. I should have also posted pictures of my sun burns :P

haha no, I never did. They only hand out a certain number of rides out to the media. Oh, and in response to your older comment, there were about 50 balloons at the show.

When Fred Rion saw the pic with all the balloons he said "Wow!"
Looks like a lot of fun.
