now balloon has bigger problems..


ok... today i'm doing pilot for the balloon from 1030 to 630.. thunderstorms kept coming and i can't really fly much... till at 5pm.. did a test flight and everything goes well.. until a flight at 530... seems normal at first until the hydrulic systems suddenly jammed braked and i have no control from my remote... there are passengers on board too.. so we are stucked on about 60meters off ground, so i calmly explained that the systems has a malfuntion below and one of my ground crew will be bringing us down in a few mins, lucky there's only 8 adults and no children on board.. and no wind.. but incoming sudden thunderstorms, been using the backup desiel engine to bring us down , kinda slow.. but better than nothing as long the people on board can kiss the ground, from 60meters using backup engine took about 15mins to touchdown, if i was stuck at 150m.. it took longer than that.

hope everything's ok cause i'm the full-day pilot for tomorrow... consider me lucky... as it was the electrical box needs resetting and not the cable breaking... of else i'll end up in the newspaper... bless me...



dammn..
