Saturday 12th October 2019

Up again @ silly o'clock with the wives in tow for this one,plenty of balloon activity this morning,again logs will appear in the relevant section,just the three flyovers noted this morning:

N8633A B737 Southwest
N107PJ Pilatus PC24
N528CA PA-31T Cheyenne II

We had lunch in the excellent balloon museum where the following balloons are on display:

N50DE Raven S.55A
N4003A  Raven NO5ST-1/1ST
N3034 Hall Cherokee RM

This afternoon we stayed in the Balloon Park as a Country Music gig was going on,I'm not normally a fan of this type of music but I have to say that 2 of the three acts were very good,as ever a few overflights were noted:

N942NN B737 American
N7704A B737 Southwest
N27722 B737 United
N259SY E170 Delta Connection (Skywest)
N743SW B737 Southwest
N785SW B737 Southwest
N523VA A319 Alaska

There was a night glow arranged for this evening but we didn't attend as we wanted to get packed as much as possible as we were flying out on Sunday after the final mass ascension.

Day 9 to follow.

Great reports Dave, by all means, please post the balloon logs here if you like, it would keep all your days in a logical sequence. Your call of course...;0)

Thanks Graham,my mate has informed me that he only has the final launch on Sunday 13th Oct to doublecheck then we are good to go,I'll make up my mind as to where to put them later.

Rob put a log on balloons and airships and reckons he needs help with about 80. I’ve offered to help as all my logs from 2008 and 2015 were taken from photos so I should be able to sort some out.
