[CRAPRS] Fw: [HABET] Welcome back students

[Ron Tonneson]

I have tracked a few of their flights.  My son is involved with high altitude ballooning down in 
Kansas so also keep an eye on flights down there.

There is a Yahoo group named Balloon_Sked that provides announcements of balloon flight all over 
the country if you are interested.
