Re: Ask Hyde about hot air balloons
[ QUOTE ]
Have you ever crashed into another balloon while flying? Is there such a thing as the balloon police that chase around you in bigger faster balloons?

Balloons rarely touch in midair. Though there is an occasional 'kiss' of fabric to fabric. If a basket touches fabric it can tear it. there was a catastrophic mid air collision years ago in australia that resulted in 10 people plummiting from 2000 feet......
The balloon police are the FAA. Most of whom know little or nothing about balloons. But their motto is " We're not happy until you're not happy....."
