  • Weather looks good to go fly a balloon over Melbourne CBD again – light & very variable surface winds will make it a challenge to be sure :) #
  • On the field & checking the winds via a little helium balloon with a very bright LED on it – light but some direction aloft #
  • On the field at Yarra Bends where we were originally targeting – pilot's now considering Royal Park that's more around the northside #
  • The location info on this tweet should have my current location :) #
  • Confirmed change of target – now heading to Royal Park (some of the others are still coming here but they have a different angle) #
  • Dang – location didn't work :( http://myloc.me/2e6w8 #
  • On the field at Royal Park http://myloc.me/2e6VK #
  • Pax enjoying champagne breakfast with the pilot at the hotel – I'm now refueling the tanks :) http://myloc.me/2e95M #
  • Check out @Joe_dEon 's latest Fly With Me podcast – http://bit.ly/2b56ez – great stuff :) #
  • And we're back – all parked in the shed (90 degree jacknife reverse park with big van & trailer – not easy :) now to clean & it's done #
  • Here's where the shed is in the city http://myloc.me/2e9PP #

  • Approaching 40 celsius with 20-26kt hot northerly winds – sure, it'd be lumpy up there but at least I'd be flying :) #
