  FLIGHT REPORT 16/05/08

CAPT.  NICK DUFFIELD

Jambo All,

A light breeze at the launchsite, we both had easy inflations and both balloons away tracking low level across the river on a strong right steerage.

Beautiful viewsof the sunrise as we climbed for the left to take us to the Hippo pool, quite fast up high. After the Hippo pool we flew low level for the next part of the flight taking in views of the river and plains before a climb to make our way to Water Pump for final landings.

Very Good sightings this morning of elephant, girapphe, lions, hippo's, wildebeest, zebra, grants gazzelle's, impala, hyena, jackal and bat-eared fox.

Exciting 14 knot landings, passengers thrilled.

Pilots: Nigel & Nick
