Hot Air Ballooning

Doug, WAØVEZ, gave a demonstation on hot air ballooning at the September club meeting. With the assistance of some pilots of the Roscoe BBQ hot air balloon group, a hot air balloon was set up and inflated near the American Red Cross building. After the balloon inflation, Doug answered questions from club members on the sport of hot air ballooning.
