Default Hot Air Balloon Ride with my Canon 20D

The Journey .....

1: Feels like I'm in heaven once we are airborned. We feel like weightless, just like feather floating in the air.

Default Hot Air Balloon Ride with my Canon 20D

The setup and Preparation...

5: Part of the SOP routine to pre-check the inside of the balloon.



6: Inflating the balloon with hot air.



7: Our pilot checks the burners before balloon takes off.



8: A inflated balloon called KIA, waiting to be lift off.

Good idea. I've a better idea; share your champagne with your pilot and have a little competition, to see who can stay sober though out the trip.

Lucky for us, it was drizzling on the first day, the chief pilot didn't want to take the risk so the flight was cancelled. But on the second day, the weather was awesome, and we were jumping with joy.
