Some Pictures of the Flight

Here are some pictures of our last flight. We launched out of Strathmore, Alberta on April 24, 2012.  The first few pictures are before the bursting point of our balloon. The conditions of the day of launch were extremely cloudy. The camera used is a GoPro Hero II.





The first picture after burst.

  1. Those are some amazing pictures scott. How far did the balloon land away from the launch site.

  2. Thank you. In the 3 hour flight, our balloon travelled about 45km in a slightly north-west direction. Most of the time, the balloon travelled at a speed between 15km/hr-60km/hr, yet there was a few moments in the jet stream which the balloon travelled over 150km/hr.
