Sigh, theres always one in every crowd.
Yep, some days it’s best just to stay in bed.
Wait a minute, I bet that’s illegal in someone’s mind also.

I like the FAA rules regarding Balloons, I think I’ll go jump on some kid coming out of the zoo carrying one. Hey kid did you know you cant carry that thing within 5 miles of a airport.

With a spotter and no aircraft in the area what was “dangerous” about the flight?
Nothing…..
I know people in the FAA, I’ve stood in the middle of active runways flying RC with them. Most times the airport manager and most of the full scale pilots were flying with us.
I belonged to an AMA show team and I’ve flown around and on more runways than most people have seen. Guess what, everything in the world is NOT illegal, notify the local airport manager and go have fun but do it safely.
