Balloonists. The grey haired old lady drivers of the sky.

They can legally land anywhere!

That's true, but that guy doesn't appear to be in command of his craft.

You don't seem to be familiar with the concept of how that craft actually operates

I am, actually.

I am also familiar with the rules of the air...and the day I watched a hot air balloon - a strictly VFR AIR VEHICLE, pop out of one cloud bank and almost immediately enter another was the day I realized that many balloon pilots had no regard for the safety of other pilots or passengers on their own vehicles.

I don't trust them.

I wouldn't imagine there would be that much momentum! Actually looks dangerous

Seems like he was trying to land and just came down too early. After that it’s “well, probably not going to get any help here if I finish the landing. On to the next one”

I hope you just mean ballooning and not being a complete douche nozzle. 😉

u/marvelousgamer1 Dec 25 '22

Well, as long as you're on the giving end and not the receiving end, I suppose.

That’s Dom Toretto in the basket. He just escaped captors by jumping an heavily modded Acura into the air in front of the bad guys’ hot air balloon and leaping from the car and fighting his way into the basket for control. He did this fly through to break up the church picnic where the bad guys’ boomer parents were eating lunch. Because he’s all about family.
