Keith Sproul's Dawn Patrol Flights

Dawn Patrol is when you take off in a balloon approximately one hour before sunrise, and fly in the dark. You stay in the air until after sunrise, and then land in the full daylight.
You have to have lights hanging below the basket so that you can be seen even when the burner isn't on.

Dawn Patrol is one of my favorite times to fly.
As of 10/20/2020 I have flown Dawn Patrol 35 times, with 51 different passengers.
I have flown Dawn Patrol in New Jersey, New Mexico, New York and Texas
