Motorized picknick table cruising down the runway	Bill Armstrong with his Emich-built basket featuring sizeable collection of patches	Another clean bottom on Shane Robinson's new basket
Shortly after takeoff on Saturday evening; Note Bill Armstrong's video camera hanging from the crown line (it was hanging too low and the video showed the basket instead of the pilots)	Well-travelled "Alaska" balloon	The new 73,000 cu ft balloon, which passed FAA inspection on Thursday morning
View of Lake Fairlee from Bill Armstrong's balloon on Saturday evening flight	Look back at Post Mills Airport after takeoff	One more shot of Lake Fairlee
Saturday evening sky could not have been any more romantic!	Mike and Tammie Lavoie catch up with us after landing	Lavoie crew, who kindly gave us a ride back to the airport
Testing Jeff Barlett's light experimental burner; Note the blow torch in lieu of pilot light	Beautiful Barnes-inspired one man basket; I want one!	Jon Radowski showing off T3 burner with ultra-portable 2 lbs propane tank; to be flight tested next year :-)
