In a controlled manner luckely! Hot-air balloon comming down out of thin air...

That's just the basket scraping over the ground people!

A bit more westerly wind and he would have ended up in my garden!

Aaah... I think he just broke it...

Voila, about the most exciting event this evening at Ruiselede, Belgium! Wink

Cheers,

We've had two hot-air balloons land in our backyard. Hooray for free champagne.

LOL!

I don't think he broke it; I believe there's a way to spill the hot air out of it at times like that so it's less likely to get dragged more by the wind.

Great snaps Kris. We had a balloon crash on the main road in Pécs a few months ago causing a lot of trouble in the rush hour Grin

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
