[Balloon-makers] XLTA - Seattle recap

[Greg Winker]

Here is a summary of the weekend.  
   
  18 Crew
  8 Pilots
  5 Balloons (including 3 hoppers)
  3 Flights (including my first flight in my Lindstrand hopper)
  2 Tethers
  1 Seminar on homebuilding
  1 Blue Angels performance
  1 Very wet pilot after a splash 'n dash in the Green River
   
  The weather was a mixed bag, definitely less than it could have been.  We did manage to fly Saturday morning, but the ceiling was too low to fly legally Sunday.  Instead we tethered.  I think everyone who lived within a mile got a ride in the hoppers.
   
  We're go for hosting XLTA-Seattle 3 next year - August 1-3, 2008.
   
  I'll be preparing amore detailed article for the Cloudhopper newsletter, complete with photographs.
   
  Good Floating!
   
  Greg
