Any gas balloon pilots here?

As you guessed, gas ballooning is very expensive because helium is the

I dont' know about the USA, but in Europe, the only helium filled
balloons you'll find are the little ones for the children. All the real
ones fly on hydrogen. Helium is just way too expensive.

Yeah, that is one reason why many pilots here in the U.S. are
switching to hydrogen, as well. Another reason is that hydrogen is a
stronger lifting gas than helium.
