Wow. Our balloon made the front page of the Washington Times! Thanks Nick Danger for letting me know.
Right under Rummy too... So cool.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get this photo so I can print it out? Thanks.

since it is your ballon - I bet an email to the Wash Times would garner you a copy of the print rather easily.

Here's a link to that. I think we are allowed to post "links only" to USA Today on FR.

That's a moot point, anyway, since the gallery was done in Flash.

My Washington Times is missing this morning, possibly stolen by a frenzied balloon fan.

Washington Times, AP, USA Today... very nice work bombarding the media with your subversive patriotic images.
To: Interesting Times
Hey, all we can do is try...
Got here this morning and had several emails talking about the balloon on various newspapers. Kind of cool...
Oh yea, those frenzied balloon fans are everywhere!

Just found out the caption:
A New Jersey crew inflated an American flag hot-air balloon for a July festival yesterday, which happened to be Flag Day.

Check it out! The amazing US Flag Balloon (owned and operated by FReepers abner and victim of circumstance) made the front page of yesterday's Washington Times. A miniature version of the WT front page containing the beautiful photo is posted in #3.
Link for another photo taken yesterday of the US Flag Balloon by USA Today is at post #13. Link for Yahoo News Photos is in #21.

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

WooHoo! Hands down, this is the best Flag Day coverage. The photos are breathtaking!
p.s. Do we have a catchy name for VOC's shadow dance?

Wonderful Abner! Great PR for a great group/crew and wonderful review of your work.
You were the first FReepers I met after being registered less than 24 hours. Of course I didn't know you were FReepers.. or the extent of what FReepers entailed. YOu just were a group of nice folks with some cool equipment, neat cars & let me take your mass pix before the rally & made Oliver & me feel right at home there
