157 - Hydrogen Balloon Launch


The first passenger carrying hydrogen balloon launch in the Houston, TX area since 1927 happened August 4th, 2010 at Richmond, Texas.  The truck from Air Liquide is to the right of this scene.  The black hose is delivering the hydrogen.

Phil Bryant(L), Bert Mann(back to camera) and Dale Tibodeau(R) can be seen during the last moments before launch.  We all got together to pray for a safe voyage.  They landed the next morning.  You can follow their flight path on Spot (no longer available).  They landed safely at about 8AM.



My baby.  Shot 50 images from here (2x220 & 1x120.) Also shot 3 rolls of Ektar 100 (x36), 2 rolls of Fujicolor 200 (x24), 1 roll of Polaroid Polagraph 400 (x12).  Plus digital and have a couple of shot videos. Something has to be working.
