Guest ozzie Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Has anyone piloted a hot air balloon? it looks like it can be fun. I must get around to trying this one day. last Sunday morning i was having a nice little sleep in when i was woken by a roaring noise above the house. i reluctantly opened my eyes and looked thru the skylight over the bed and there was a big yellow balloon a couple of hundred feet over the house. so had to get up and take a photo. he was doing a 'go around' after missing the paddock next door to us. he climbed up into the westerly wind and headed off into the valley towards Luskintyre where it is a bit more open. bit of a rare event for us as they are usually a bit more south towards Cessnock. neat way to start our day we are usually woken by the sounds of two strokes either from trail bikes or trikes. ozzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yenn Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Have to get rid of the mirror and try that skylight idea. the view would be a lot better than the bald head and bloodshot eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
