Balloon Jumps!

Saturday, January 8, 2011, just after sunrise, somewhere north of Mexico.

The load consisted of Emily and Amanda, who were both making their first hot air balloon jumps, and me.

On the edge of the basket 5,500 feet above the desert.

In freefall.

My somewhat trusty Stiletto 135.

Amanda sticks the exit.
