Hot air balloon flight - preparation

in #photography5 years ago

This weekend I managed to fly in a balloon. First time ever. So I suggest pictures of this event.

Part one - preparation for the flight - inflate the ball.

In fact, the balloon is not inflated. The shell of the ball a powerful jet of air is straightened by filling the internal volume of air while still cold.

This is the longest part of the preparation, the shell is large and carefully straighten it-it takes a lot of time.

But experienced pilots do everything in 10-15 minutes.

Then the burners are switched on and the air is heated.

The air heats up. And it heats up very quickly. And the balloon rises and takes off.

At this stage, the main thing that all the passengers had to sit in the basket until the balloon took off
