@@meinkamph5327 Well that was out of pocket. It's so absurdly rude to tell a parent their kid needs to change their hair. Especially when it's just the style Jimmy's kid was rockin. You need some self-awareness, man.

Ya know James, you can always take a long walk off of a short pier, not as emotive as a fireball in the summer evening, but classier.

@robstanton9215 Ай бұрын

Silas starting with gliders will be a better instinct pilot down the road. I started with sailplanes and personally think it should be a mandate for getting your private certificate. It teaches reading the clouds and being aware of thermals, you develope a strong feel for altitude management and every landing is dead stick.

@martinsaunders7925 Ай бұрын

Absolutely agree. Teaches 3d spacial awareness. Learned at 14 in a club sponsored by British Airways that encouraged their pilots to fly sailplanes. So cool to join birds in thermals.

Can't wait for the Cleetus video and hopefully more balloon content from him in the future. I have been ballooning all of my life, I attended balloon fiesta for the first time when I was a month old. My brother and I are student pilots. My brother just bought a balloon similar to this one recently. He hopes to get his private certificate this October. I hope to start my training after he is finished.

I remember back when Branson was doing those big balloon trips. One of the news articles at the time roasted Branson so hard he's probably still smoking "The balloon will have a crew of 3: Lindstrom, Branson and a dog. Lindstrom will pilot the balloon, the dog's job is to bite Branson if he gets anywhere near the controls."

Gliders / sailplanes are awesome! Looking forward to seeing those videos. And hang gliders are a fantastic flight option as well, especially for people with limited $$ who live close to areas with good ridge lift. When I was doing hang glider training, there was an airline pilot in the group who said flying airliners was his career, but when he wanted to have fun flying, it was with his hang glider.

Hot air balloons seem magical to me, their beautiful colors, the hot air jet sounds, and the excitement in the air as a field of hot air balloon begin to take off. I lived in Colorado Springs and witnessed one of those events where many balloons participated. It was great to watch, (I didn't get to fly.) Sounds like learning to fly one isn't as simple as one might think.
