Nice video guys! My first virtual balloon ride with ham gear. Thanks so much for sharing your adventure.
I never saw that kind of photo about the Hindenburg before. I only saw the explosion, but never an approach or a fly over a city in the USA. Maybe in cause of the logos?
It is mis-leading to refer to these as "hot air" balloons; they burn propane to create a LOT of hot carbon dioxide. Then they go on a ride that goes nowhere and the balloon is refilled every few minutes by more burnings dozens of times to replace cooled carbon dioxide. An Albuquerque "balloon festival" adds an uncalculated amount of CO2 to the atmosphere for people going nowhere that want to see the pretty balloons. So long earthlings.
