Here it is! My sixth HAB flight. Our baloon started flight in the Vilnius city park and after 3h flight landed 60km south.Wind was NW 2-4 m/s,temperature about 15C,atmospheric pressure was abut 750mm-ideal weather!

Lovely.......isn't it a bit dangerous crossing that close to the airport though. I know that when they launch from Ashton Court in Bristol they do their best to avoid the wind blowing them over the airport....

Thanks! BTW,I heard that most of HAB owners don't lift parachuters-it's difficult and expencive...Of course the jump is priceless!
