Hot Air Ballooning 2007 57 photo's "Not to be missed."

Hot Air Ballooning by Windship Aviation Ltd. of Edmonton was an enjoyable experience. I found the whole time very interesting and informative. I learned a lot from the time we signed a waver form right to the very end. You couldn't ask for better staff and the pilot was very informative having logged over 3500 hours. Going up was the easy part, comming down was something else as the photos will show you. It was on CTV news and some of these photos were used...Enjoy { If you are interested in a flight when in Edmonton Call "Windship Aviation Ltd. Ph.780-438-0111 or www.windshipaviation.com }

Very cool images to go along with the story Ron, That would be scary to land in the street among power lines. We managed to come back down in the park with a pretty soft landing. It was so much fun. Your "Ballooning at Sunrise" should be on a poster, its awesome with the warm light.
