Bright and Early Saturday!
It's really the best time to go if I dare say. The rising sun provides the most beautiful light, and the early mornings typically offer the most agreeable wind conditions.

Meet us about 6:00AM at the south end of the runway, past the last hangar (to your right if facing hangar), where the runways intersect. 43.34023592965851, -73.6053982692161

If you can't find us or miss us before heading to the field....then just have fun shooting! Once the balloons start, everyone disperses and heads to what catches their eye anyway.
