Anybody ever taken a hot air balloon ride?
My husband is planning a trip to Park City, Utah to enjoy our first air balloon flight. Only concern we are both affraid of heights. Any suggestions? I'm totally scared:( but can't wait at the same time!
I went on one in NJ i am afraid of hights to but i wanted to see what it was like if you are scared maybe you can just sit down, at the end of it we got food =) but it was a good experience.

Skyhook Balloon $62.13 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Skyhook balloons were balloons developed by Otto C. Winzen and General Mills, Inc., and used by the United States Navy Office of Naval Research in the late 1940s and in the 1950s for atmospheric research, especially for constantlevel meteorological observations at very high altitudes. Instruments like the Cherenkov detector were first used on skyhook balloons. Among significant flights, in 1948 Project Skyhook launched the first successful three balloon cluster. In 1949, the first shipboard Skyhook launch took place, followed by nearly 300 shipboard launchings over the next 10 years. The first manned plastic balloon flight under ONR contract took place in 1949. Project Rockoon, in 1952, featured a Skyhook balloon that released small Deacon rockets at about 70,000 feet above arctic waters. On September 7, 1956, the University of Minnesota launched a giant Mylar balloon (developed by the G. T. Schejeldahl Corporation of Northfield, MN) to set an unofficial balloon altitude record of 145,000 feet for unmanned balloons.

Virgin Balloon Flight for Two $349 There are few experiences as serene and at the same time thrilling as a Balloon Ride. There is a sensation of time suspended as the world passes by quietly below. It is also a photographers dream with no feeling of movement and no cold breezes as you drift with the wind. Balloon flights are both fun and exhilarating and give you the opportunity to see the world in slow motion from a huge wicker basket. After a safety briefing from your pilot the excitement begins with the inflation of the balloon envelop |

Epic Adventures: Epic Flights (Board) $32.07 The first people to fly did so in hot-air balloons. Some 120 years later, theWright brothers heavier-than-air flying machine made powered, controlled flight possible. Ever since, aviators have aspired to fly faster, farther, and higher. Charles Lindbergh set the world alight with his nonstop flight acrossthe Atlantic. Amy Johnson won hearts and acclaim flying solo from England to Australia in a small biplane. With advances in rocketry, a new era dawned. The world watched in awe as the Apollo 11 astronauts landed on the Moon. The Voyager claimed the last major record for fixed-wing aircraft, flying nonstop around the world. And aviation`s last major record was set when the Breitling Orbiter 3 pilots flew their balloon nonstop around the world. |

Giles: 25 02 34S 128 18 08 E definitely rural
The Giles Weather Station was established in 1956 by the Weapons Research Establishment (now known as the Defence Science and Technology Organisation), a division of the Department of Defence. The first weather observations were transmitted from the station by radio on 2 August 1956.
The purpose of the station was to provide weather data for the UK atomic weapons tests at Emu Plains and Maralinga. It was also used to support the rocket testing program based at Woomera, being conveniently positioned at the edge of and about halfway down the testing range. Giles Weather Station was transferred from the Department of Defence to the Bureau of Meteorology in 1972.
The station has a staff of four who run it on a six-month tour. The staffing is arranged by the South Australian Regional Office of the Bureau of Meteorology and the Observing staff come from various Bureau offices throughout Australia. The station has satellite and telephone communications facilities, and hydrogen gas is produced on site for weather balloon flights.”
Esperance: Confusion.
The BoM metadata sheet online gives position 33 49 48S, 121 53 31 E
This shows a plausible set of instruments on Google Earth, off Fairfields St, in the middle of a wooded paddock. The airport at Esperance since 1979 has been some 20 km to the NNW of the city centre since about 1969-70. The airport surrounds are quite rural. Some records (shipping) are taken from the city site, perhaps even another one by the sea front. The Post Office site is quoted for temperatures before the airport was used, starting 1910. It is not clear which station provides official temperatures for what purpose from which site of about 4 possible. See
There are discrepancies in lats and longs.

I'd like to have heard the dogs take on this – did nobody ask it?
Yeah, I think he got Abducted as well. There have been a few people going missing lately and never turn up. 2 people went missing in Perth not so long ago. Never to be seen again. Aliens, Theey're sneaky little Buggers. I wouldn't put it past them.
Then again, Fossett may have gone on Holiday without telling anyone. Maybe he went to get a loaf of bread? You don't know if he really loved his missus? Yeah, I still think Aliens is the best answer though. Do do do do,,,,,,,,,,, Dooooooooo!
