    As a 40 year comm balloon pilot I would have never thrown out a line like he did. Too high and only if you are low on fuel . But he had a knife to cut it. I only threw out the line once and the crew wrapped it around a tree. So it spun the basket around and I ended up bumping a small shed. Ha

      The only real navigation that you can do is going into wind currents that are blowing the right direction, there is no real steering, you can go up and down but other than that you are at the mercy of the elements.

    Good video. Are you a new pilot unfamiliar with laws when flying over populated areas? 2 balloon pilots got grounded for flying below the min. You aren't much higher than they were. Grounded. No fly. Its 1000ft or 2000ft above the highest obstacle. Can't remember. But either way you were around 300ft over some homes and it wasn't an optical illusion due to camera zoom. Maybe you got a waiver from FAA. If so you should put a disclaimer or something
    s. Risking people's lives. Fly safer next time.

    • @bryank951
      @bryank951 2 года назад +1

      Are you aware that those laws are for flight and not for landing procedures, which this pilot is clearly doing.
