So this is what the kid was up too….

Practice setup (no, that’s not the kid, that’s the guy that flies these things)

 

A field in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night…

Almost Ready…

Looks cramped to me…

Up, up and away…

Bye…

Still Bye Bye…

The ‘Chase’ Balloon…

After they landed and dropped of the passengers, they took off again so the kid proceeded to chase them across half of North Carolina until they landed. Seems like he had a blast!
