Not quite as many as some of you but I passed a helium filled pink dolphin over Snowden at 5500ft today, same level as me and about 100ft away.

Shocked me so much I nearly spilled my drink! Not a good thing to do in a cr@ppy PA28!

My passenger (on her first flight) didnt bat an eye lid!

Cant help thinking "Hmmm, string wrapped in prop, mountainous terrian below a thick layer of cloud, options....nil!"

Tested the old sphincter muscle I can tell you!

Cheers
