I know, I know - it amounts to sacrilege to say a balloon flight is anything other than absolutely wonderful. It's all relative; I did enjoy it. I just prefer flying practically anything else. Yes, it should definitely be promoted and all that; I agree with you. And I'd do it again if I got the chance. And if I worked for Lindstrand balloons and it was free I'd definitely go for a balloon PPL. But spending hours of preparation in order to drift along with the wind is not my absolutely favourite aviation experience; that's all. And if you don't understand that - well, we're all different aren't we.
