AIBF - Day 5

Tuesday - My volunteer shift was early morning again. I talked a group of high school students to volunteer and they were excited to participate. The balloon of the day was sponsored by Coca Cola and it carried the American flag during the National Anthem. 

By this time, I was already on the field as part of a chase team for a small team from Spain. They were competing after the mass ascension and we left the field to launch from off the field. 

We found a spot in a cul-de-sac. We set it up quickly and was launched in about 15 minutes. Before the residents needed to leave their driveways. 

This is the view while the envelope was being filled. After they took off, we brought their truck back to the field. They made a two passes at the target. I’m not sure how they scored.

This was an enjoyable adventure.
