"But, Tam!" you ask, "What would happen if Gojira got in amongst the balloons at the 2012 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta?"
Well, they'd send a news helicopter to chase him off, obviously.
(Incidentally, departing ABQ with all those things in the air is interesting.)

It's pretty interesting that with all the balloons there, I can't recall an air traffic control incident (and I've flown in and out of ABQ rather a lot).
ReplyDeleteProbably because they do a pretty good job of staying north of I-40.
Re: Gojira. The Secret Service boys down the hall tell me Leviathan has a Predator up during the Fiesta . . . I've glassed it once, two years ago. I'll bet someone has pix up somewhere.

ReplyDeleteIf any of you are interested, Middletown Ohio has a balloon/skydiving festival every July:

About every other year the wind takes a lot of the balloons over our house. Kind of weird to wake up to the sound of a propane burner right over the top of your house. Some of them land about 1/2 mile away.
