We only got a single flight off for Plainville this year. Saturday morning was calm and clear. I think there were 41 balloons registered and 35 flew. The field was very crowded and took two waves to get all the balloons up.

We flew north, across the south approach to the airport, and landed in an industrial area just east of the airport boundary. Came in over the same area Carlos landed earlier in the week, having approached from the opposite direction. Since the crew hadn't arrived yet, we just floated between parking lots and finally landed in the street when the crew was ready.
