The wife and I were fortunate enough to have a balloon flight over the area last year. Exquiste place and rather eerie at 06:00. Oh and the balloon captain was good enough to land the basket directly onto the trailer that transports it around on the ground!
Always impressive, the trailer landing is a much sought after accomplishment in the aerostat community, since one then doesn’t have to unload the basket and carry it to the trailer….
Most pilots however, are content to simply strive to land on the shadow of the basket.
The fairy chimneys of Cappadocia?
Absolutely, Steve, otherwise known as the magic mushrooms.
