What is it like to fly in a hot air balloon?
Hot air ballooning is like floating over the earth suspended in a basket that barely moves. The experience is so quiet and peaceful, that passengers have been known to whisper to each other. If you were to close your eyes you would not know if you were ascending or descending. A passenger got into our basket with some trepidation, and, after the pilots briefing, looked around inside the basket then said, “No, no, I cant do it, I have to get out!” “Okay,” replied the pilot, well just have to go back down first.” To her surprise she hadnt realised they had already taken off. She decided to stay on board and enjoyed the flight.
