Have you ever flown before?
Either in an aeroplane or a hot air balloon?
I have flown in both but wouldn't do the hot air balloon thing again
It was quite scary and and I felt a bit insecure
The plane flights have been ok
But I would still rather just ride a motorcycle and be in control
I am not even very secure in a car driven by someone else
So have you ever flown before?
Hot Air balloon anyone?

I've flown in airoplane many times, but never in a hot air balloon. However I prefer to walk.

@Ineeddentures Walking is safe unless you start dancing amidst a heavy traffic.

I've flown in a helicopter and an airplane. Never a hot air balloon, but I have a fear of heights. Motorcycle sounds like a good idea. Not that I have ever been on one.

Many times airplane, hot air balloon just very briefly...The power company had a display with them, and they took people up about 50 feet in the air.

Were you scared in the hot air balloon?
I was scared something hit it and the air escaped and it crashed

@Ineeddentures No, but it was a very controlled setting. Several people were killed in this area one year, when one got tangled up in powers lined.

Omg that's awful.
Power lines are bad.
We used to see adverts on the telly of kids getting electrocuted when the kite they were flying touched the power lines.
So we used to go and see how close we could get out kites to the power lines
We were going and adventurous

Small planes get shaken about like there is no tomorrow.
So you don't fancy a trip on a balloon then?

@Ineeddentures - I have already witnessed two air balloon accidents. The small plane to go to the Bahamas was very unpleasant.

I wonder what it must be like when you know the hot air balloon you are flying in is going to crash

@ineeddentures Planes too often. Hate them. No balloons. Helicopter - nasty little wasps. Magic carpet a few times. Best was Syrian Arab Airways in the 70s.

I have never done this, and I never will. Perhaps I’m missing out, but I’m not that adventurous.

That's good.

Only time I have been in a hot air balloon it was tethered to the ground, like at a fair or something. It has been a lot of years since I have flown. We prefer driving places and being in control as well. Have you ever gone up in a helicopter?

Been in a few helicopters when I was in the forces.
I forgot that lol,
Once jumped out of one into the Black Sea.
It was good fun, the water was warm

The hot air balloon was strange.
I felt like Zeppelin and I was on a Stairway to Heaven
Trains are good.
But very expensive to travel on nowadays and they also crash a lot

That's a few different types of planes Linda.
Did the float plane land smoothly enough or was it a bit bumpy
