Title: Charlie's Most Excellent Ride
Post by: gjtoth on August 04, 2010, 03:32:35 PM
My friend, Charlie, got a special treat from his wife for his birthday.  A hot-air balloon ride!  These are just a few I caught with the Oly w/18-180mm.  The entire take-off series can be seen at http://tinyurl.com/2dk89vn (http://tinyurl.com/2dk89vn)

What an imaginative wife he has!  And it looks as though she enjoyed the ride as much as he did!   :D

Great series of photos.

It gets better, y'all!  Charlie is a C-130 pilot.  Tomorrow I get to fly with him to Fort Knox where I get to fly in a Blackhawk helicopter to a US Marine base and ride in an Abrams A1 tank and then fly back to the C-130 for a flight back to Louisville! I'm taking all three of my cameras with spare batteries and memory cards.  I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight!  :o
