B.C. Enquirer: Balloon championship lands
The 20th World Hot Air Balloon Championship being flown in Battle Creek means a meetup with international visitors for some farmers with space for landing, reports the Battle Creek Enquirer. Hot Air Balloon Pilot Laurent Pacaud of Burgundy, France landed in Don Eishen’s home and within a few minutes his crew was deflating the balloon and beginning to pack the equipment into a cargo van.
Copilot Laure de Coligny said: “It’s our first time here and it is really beautiful and the people are so welcoming us. But there are not a lot of fields. There is a lot of forests and crops so it is not easy landing.”
