Saga international balloon festa 2008 2nd day
Balloon Fantasia ~ All the interesting balloons assemble at the launch site! A lot of anime characters and cute animals line up alongside the river. If the weather permits, it may be possible to enter the launch area, which is not usually open to the public. You will be able to see these extraordinary gigantic balloons close up.
In the morning of Nov. 1(Sat.), bacause of the fog over the hall was not dispelled ,implementation of the task flight became difficult. Although a hot air balloon task is not held, a free flight (takeoff) is performed from the Kase river dry riverbed main lunch site by judgment of a pilot. A game pilot is expected to take off from order 8:30. We've waited at the river side for 2 hours. The information told us the task has been canceled. But luckly, most of the pilot performed a free flight. It was really nice of them to show us the balloon. I went with my mother, and it was her first time to see hot ari balloon. I wake her up 5am so, she was getting bit tired, but pilot starts get ready for a free flight, my mother was so excited. I was glad to show her this event. And it was really nice for me to see this balloon. Just wonderful

What kinds of tasks do the balloonists compete for?

It is not “speed or distance” that balloonists race for but “accuracy within a limited time” in most cases. Generally, a balloonist is required to drop his/her marker onto a target on the ground after flying several kms. The target is either declared by the event director or by the pilot him/herself before departure.
