Hot air ballooning in New Zealand viewed through the eyes of a crazed crewie and event committee member.

Lift Off? Yaaaaayyyyy!!!
Finally, some air time. After much careful maneouvring to get us heading over the Key Grab target area - we missed completely. So we landed beside the lake, got a few bods to drag us around the shore a bit and tried again. And still missed. With balloons above us and below us it was certainly an interesting flight, but by no means a long one. Touchdown was safely and gently in a park. So at least we'd gotten something out of a frustrating week. We had been over to Levin a few times where our little event was taking place and had seen that the weather would have been good for flying when it wasn't so in Wairarapa. Would the tables turn the following week and rain on our parade? We'd find out soon enough. Meanwhile it was farewell to the other pilots and a reminder to those flying with us where and when to be there.
