Hot Air Balloon Fully Inflated (H.A.N.W.E.)

Taken during our balloon ops training. The balloon owner was very helpful. He later flew this balloon at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta.

This activity took place at an elementary school, and the children were quite fascinated. We only helped to inflate the balloon, and then immediately packed it back up.

For the Sunday Challenge, this should convey the mood of happiness and soaring into the skies, as well as the interest and attention of the crowd of students and parents.

I've uploaded a photo of the balloon being deflated. See PiP.

I just noticed that the moon is in this photo, just above the balloon!
