Sqn OPS O:
"Sorry Bloggs you have used up your Monthly flying time allotment".
Bloggs:
"WHAT ! I was riding in a tethered balloon !"
Sqn OPS O:
"Nah, look closely at the picture. I can clearly see you flapping my arms and legs, that is close enough for me, so you are off the flying roster until next month and I get to save a bunch of money on gas."
Its win win !
