Photo of the Montgolfiere brothers and their first balloon
Happy Montgolfier Day! On this day in 1783 the first humans took to the air and aviation was born.
242 years later we are still enjoying the skies in montgolfiรจres or, in English, hot air balloons!

Me working to put my balloon the right way on the ground as it was backwards over the basket
A bystander caught me hard at work deflating the balloon. Itโs not supposed to go that way, we had a wind shift and it was definitely work to make it right!

Frost grass and multiple hot air balloons taking off in the distance
It was a frosty but beautiful morning yesterday at the ADK balloon festival. I never flew my hopper in such cold temps so we did some experiments with how it would react and our equilibrium temp.

Tony got to fly my balloon, Floaty Ball, last night. One more month down for his record! Hopefully weโll start flying more if Mother Nature gets herself together and gives us more than 1-2 days a month of flyable weather.
