Default Two Dead in Canada Hot Air Balloon Fire



That must've been one whopping big-ass balloon to lift eleven passengers

I don't know how big this one was but we fly a Cameron A300 with a 14
passenger basket.
This is a 300.000 cubic ft balloon and inflated it stands about 35 mtrs
(about 100 ft, I think).

Problem is not the flying, it's the getting it inflated and after that
packing it in again that is the hard part.
