Sundancer Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Well, this looks much better Jack, nice shots. The weather had turned dry and now I really like it. By the way, nice button in the heli cockpit (#12), what does it trigger....an ejection seat? Cheers -Fred- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Wonderful array of images here Jack, it looks too pricey for me though with all of those expensive boats down there. Not only some interesting little discoveries but the mountainous terrain is so beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are ahead of me! Thanks Paul, I have Roger to thank, he sent me the GTN750 lat/long coordinates so I plugged them in and flew there. It's all really nice. 1 hour ago, Sundancer said: Well, this looks much better Jack, nice shots. The weather had turned dry and now I really like it.

That is a "wood burned" plaque that was made for me by JoeMBII, no function and gosh, I'd hate it to be an ejection seat in a chopper, you'd go right into the blades. 53 minutes ago, VH-KDK said: Wonderful array of images here Jack, it looks too pricey for me though with all of those expensive boats down there.

Thanks Martyn, it is nice terrain and yes, from what I read this place is only for the rich, so I guess I'll never enjoy it. 40 minutes ago, Buffy Foster said: Looks like a fun exploration!

It took me a long time to get good at it and I only have a yoke. 2 minutes ago, Stillwater said: You are really using quite a variety of vehicles in that are today, Jack...!

I always wanted to jump from one with a chute but it can really ruin a balloon, 155 pounds of weight suddenly lost and the balloon would rocket straight up and it would put a lot of stress on the cables and the balloon.

Ah... didn't know that. And in case an emergency situation occurs, the balloon is already too low for parachuting, isn't it? In the old days when I was young and handsome (now not young anymore...) I did some parachuting a few times.....wow, what an experience. I did not continue that sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 Just now, Sundancer said: Ah... didn't know that. And in case an emergency situation occurs, the balloon is already too low for parachuting, isn't it? In the old days when I was young and handsome (now not young anymore...) I did some parachuting a few times.....wow, what an experience. I did not continue that sport. Well, we flew to a max of 10,000 feet sometimes, but mostly 5000 feet. So at those altitudes you could do it. I knew a couple who did but it really can shorten the life of the balloon and attaching cables. As far as an emergency goes, well, that's the risk. I know one who died, it was unfortunate. Winds are a hot air balloon's biggest enemy. It's a risky sport Fred but very peaceful and rewarding when done properly.
