Three-year-old Neveah Carver of Caribou was curious about the bright yellow gondola parked on display during Thursdays on Sweden last week, and cluster balloonist Jonathan R. Trappe was more than happy to answer her questions — and those of her mom, Sarah, at far right, as well as Sharon Bickford, right center. Weather permitting, Trappe will fly the gondola across the Atlantic Ocean, carried aloft by a cluster of helium balloons.
