You are so right — it is touchy business launching these balloons. We attended two afternoon sessions, but the balloons weren’t allowed to fly, so to speak. Wind was the culprit. I’ll write about it later, but there are three flags that fly: green flag means GO, yellow flag means MAYBE, and red flag means the event has been called off for that session. So sad, but safety first.

You’ve had great experiences. Would love to try something different next time, like set-up, etc. Even going out in a chase car would be fun. It’s all good, I guess!

Good info on how they get the balloons up. I’m sure it’s touchy business. ~James
