The world’s first glass-floored hot air balloon [^] was launched at the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. And designer, Lindstrand Balloons, have plans to launch more in the near future.
Now I will readily admit to being amazed by hot air balloons, even getting married in one. But the thought of looking straight down between your feet at the ground doesn’t exactly thrill me. Then again, you can’t say that you don’t like something until you’ve tried it, and you do have to face your fears. Looks like I’ve just found an excuse for my next flight.
