Today was a beautiful flying day here in Utah.
The wife and I got up at 0600 and drove to Park City, an old mining town that is
now a vibrat tourist ski area here. Our sons had bought us a ticket for a hot
air balloon ride for Christmas so we decided to go. I wasn't to excited about
riding in an aircraft without a motor but I will tell you what it was really an
enjoyable ride. Really quiet except when the burners were on it had three of
them to heat an area of 225,000 square feet of balloon. Had twelve people in
that basket and still a great rate of climb. If you ever have a chance to take a
ride in one I highly reccomend it. Got me so excited I had to take the silver
bullet out for a ride, it had been a couple of months since I last had her out.
She started right up and ran great had a nice hour and half flight, there is
still nothing as pleasing as flying the coupe! Jim Duffy, Ogden, Utah
