Amanda Panda is going on a hot-air balloon flight. She arrives at the launch site in time to watch the crew spread out and inflate the balloon. With her friends, Vicki, Kathy, and Mary, Amanda climbs into the basket and sets off for a flight over Salem, Oregon. At the end of the flight, Amanda watches as the crew packs up the balloon for the next flight. She has taken many pictures, and can't wait to share them with all of her friends.
