John G begins filling the balloon for flight #2.


I hold the filling adapter as the helium continues to flow. Doug O looks on.


Blaise M readies the dust collectors.


Blaise and John double-check payload as balloon nears proper inflation (it's nearly lifting the counterweight off the floor).


The chasers plot their strategy.


Milly preps the chase van.
