Squirt the Fire Hydrant is
filling with air.
He's starting to take shape.
Squirt & Kermie the Frog
Eric \& Dave hold the throat
of the balloon open as Jeff
fires the burners to heat
the air inside.
The basket is set upright
as Squirt inflates.
Dave & Kathy are flying
with Jeff today.
Dave urges the crowd
to cheer as Squirt
takes off....
Squirt rises above many
inflated balloons.
Eric and I climb into the chase truck with Ian, Ed and Kassandra to follow Squirt.
Squirt landed in the field adjacent to where Eric and I are camped.
Ian maneuvers the truck
into the field.
Let's get to work....
It takes a long time to squish
air out of Squirt.
Balloons land around us as we work.
Eric takes a turn straddling
Squirt as we fold up
the balloon.
Closing Squirt's
balloon bag.
Fellow Escapee Boomers
Ed & Kassandra had a
great time crewing
Squirt.
Balloons continue to
land around us as we
celebrate today's flight.
