Crazy Landing Spot
After taking off from a soccer field just outside of Guanajuato and flying 6 miles.... I managed to land the balloon in the exact same field. This was the most insane flights of my career. The chances of land in the exact same field is very rare. We were all in disbelief and full of excitment !!! This picture includes David, Chuck and I
Ron's First Flight EVER
David's childhood friend from Kansas City Ron, who was also apart of the McDonald's Balloon Team Leon this year. Took his very first hot air balloon flight with me as pilot in Guanajuato. This is a picture of him during our awesome flight on December 5th, 2005. Ron has also become a good friend in mine as well. I will look forward to seeing him again soon on another ballooning adventure.
