Can I ask probably a couple of really daft questions regarding hot air balloons???

They go where the wind takes them which is fine.....

1) How do they get round airfields and restricted areas? (I'm guessing no steering just 'more hot air up...open some flaps and down you go'

2) When they land surely it must always be on some farmers (or anyone's for that matter) land. In this day and age how do they get away with landing on private property??

I admit to never gone up in one so probably a couple of really dumb questions there alway wondered though!!
