Actually K9YO needs to send them a bill for providing them with a target for
practice!

Does K9YO get a bill from the Air Force for the flight time, fuel, labor and

I'm guessing they're about $60,000 each, and it would probably be cheaper to
fire cash at the balloons. The plus side is that the recovery effort would be
much quicker.
I was wondering why the US Air Force was in Canada anyway.

The missiles are new old stock. I bet the value is barely $250,000! The Air
Force needed something to clear out the old inventory.

Just think. Each of the missiles fired at the balloon or balloons cost about
half a million dollars.

I would like to meet the ham who paid for that balloon. Must be flush with
cash.

LOVE IT!
BTW, the Naval Academy's midshipmen balloon experiment site (linked under
the pico balloon picture) is extremely interesting. I'm not a "ballooner," but
that site piqued my interest!
