Friday evening's hot air balloon event.

Beautiful weather and lighting for it...

I took this trying to get people behind me, but mostly got my helmet matching my tail. ;)

Here's a view of the whole formation. five T-34s, five Yaks/CJs, six T-6s, and two Navions. I think this photo was by Bill Miller.
