After being completed in the first week of May the FAA
wanted a test flight. For three weeks the weather was not very cooperative,
thunderstorms and isolated tornados were the norm in the mid west. With only
a week before the Sulphur Spring's Festival a miracle happened, the weather
for June 2, was calm to 13,000 feet. The balloon didn't travel no more than
a couple hundred feet across the ground, just what the chase crew likes. |
