Re: PESO: Moving House
Thanks, Mark. We went to the local SPCA to drop off some old towels as we're having a bit of a cleanout as we unpack. We nearly came home with half a dozen kittens & cats. It turns out the balloon is doing a tour of the country. I saw a news article about it yesterday because the wind was too light for it to take off.

If they could do that, they wouldn't have had to hike all that way to get Smaug's gold.

It would be a bitch to keep in the air though. It was descending fairly rapidly when I saw it. They were either coming down in an old military airbase which is close to here, or the A&P showgrounds next to it. I have no idea where they launched. The cat on the roof looked very content, it must have been warm with all that hot air. They may have been filming it as it was the sound of a helicopter that caused me to look skyward. I had the opportunity some years ago to be involved in a flight with a shopping cart shaped balloon. Much the same shape as the one you photographed, but very different graphics. The envelope was so heavy it took half a dozen of us to move, and once airborne, the pilot was either burning or we were in an ever increasing dive. It had to be watched carefully, it was slow to climb, quick to dive, and very difficult to pull out of a dive. IIRC, it's terminal dive rate was about 1/3 of a normally shaped aircraft. The aircraft that I flew, IIRC, went terminal at ~600 feet per minute, faster than that and you weren't going to pull out of the dive, the dhopping cart, and I presume the one you photographed, was ~200 feet per minute, but anything over 100 felt like it just wasn't going to recover. bill -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
