keeping warm

1-6-10…At the very last minute on January 6th we decided to take the balloon out for a training flight. It was a last minute call due to the cloud cover that wasn’t forecasted to clear, but it did.  We launched 50 minutes before sunset from Metro Airport with Taylon flying the balloon. Marcus and Brian crewed in the very frigid air, but it was a nice flight and Taylon did well. We landed 35 minutes after takeoff with15 minutes of daylight to spare.
