D-Day minus 2


It was a sunny day for takeoff, only a few clouds in the sky. We observed the other teams attempt to take off but were immediately shot down and burst into flames by there own power source. A sad sight to see...
Our balloons took flight yesterday at 1125 hrs. on Tuesday the 4th of June. We had a hang time of about 7 seconds. That was just with out hairdryer power source. We also experienced with a napalm accelerant that burned too hot for our balloon and the chimney we used to fill the balloons.
Overall if was fun testing our napalm and making balloons.
