Oh yeah, too bad all movement axes of his aircraft and airspeed on touchdown
were NOT under anyone's control. Being dragged screeching at ambient airspeed
through a forest with a huge load of propane and valves, weak tubing, etc. is NOT my
idea of a good flight! Snag some of that RV-quality tubing on the tanks on a good sharp branch or fence.and I'll show you what I mean! I've got over 350 hours in aircraft w/o a scratch! see youtube.c o m/watch?v=eAZcO89nMPs
I was in a hot air balloon once-- it was the most terrifying experience ever. I can't recommend it to anyone. You're just... helpless. Even the pilot was scared. We "landed" and the basket tipped over. Me and the pilot fell out, and had it not been for the ground crew and a 15 year old kid my daughter would have shot up into the air solo.
In fact, this was a very, very good landing for a medium wind speed. The wind speed was not "fast" in my book as I've landed in higher winds than we see here. Why was it so good? Watch the angle, or gradient ("glideslope" for you IFR guys!) that this Remax pilot obtains before contacting the ground. We can't see the touchdown, but he had a very gentle "angle" of approach and did an excellent job of keeping it. This invariable lead to the best windy touchdown one can have.
Yeah dude, it's just a normal high wind landing. Nothing unusual. My cousins a hot air balloon pilot and he takes me up a lot. We've been in a few of those. There fun actually.
people who have no idea how a bolloon functions and/or how to pilot a balloon should not post videos with stupid "balloon crash" titles and retarded commentary.
That was a totally controlled landing in relatively high winds. Very impressive. And no, he did not hit the trees, he was behind the trees in the shot.
(for anyone that thinks it hit the trees, look at the leaves on the trees, then look at the peoples eyes in the basket, that should give a little perspective to how close they really AREN'T to the trees)
In a high-wind situation, landing out in the open would cause the balloon to tip the basket and drag it and its passengers across the field.
Timing the landing so that a tree absorbs the balloon is impressive, and no doubt intentional.
Change your title to "Excellent Landing" and put some music to it so viewers aren't forced to hear you using such poor language in front of your children.
@mastercheif892 According to MY principles of morality it is wrong because it is a vulgar expression that contains the F word, a word that describes the most intense feeling a human can experience : love/sex. And because children are like sponge, they learn quick and I can bet you my left testicule the kid will use it someday sometime like at grandma funeral. "Your grandma has gone to heaven. WTF dad??" something like that. But it's just me. Other may not share my view.
However if you were over on the other side you would have seen that all he was doing is hoping over the runway and landed safely in the grass without any problem...
That was the plan from the beginning!
So as the guy in the audio says... what the F*#%... were you thinking posting this as if it was a crash or something...
If you think this looks bad... you should see the guy with the camera when he drove away!!!
Your written commentary says "LOL" after saying a second balloon hit the same tree (which the first one did not hit, as has already been pointed out). What would be so funny about crashing a HAB? I crew for balloons and it looked perfectly to me and if it had actually crashed, there wouldn't be anything funny about it.
Fool. Normal fast landing, jerkoff. All you have done is scare a load of people with your naivety. Get a life. Get some knowledge about your subject B4 you make reckless posts. Jeez,you R such an IDIOT! I fly for a living and you R trying to ruin what I do with your STUPIDITY!! Go back to playing with your toys and playing with your winkie B4 you play with other folks' livelihood, asshole! Reckless posts cost all but the poster. Take your stupid commentary off now!!!
Wow first off moron it was just a simple video, im not trying to make anyone look bad. 2nd just because you tell me to take off the video doesnt mean im going to do that, i didnt know you were larry page or sergey brin you stupid fck. so next time keep stupid comments to yourself k. thanks.
Did it land on a Realtor? Let's hope so.
