from the AP "The Colorado Army National Guard sent an OH-58 Kiowa helicopter and was preparing to send a Black Hawk UH-60 to try to rescue the boy, possibly by lowering someone to the balloon." I must be insane if I'm thinking the same way that the military is.

I don't know man.....a couple of commandos rappelling from a helicopter perhaps?

I think it looks like it's moving fast due to the fact that the chopper is circling around it. How the heck does one rescue a balloon? could someone send up another balloon and try to grab the kid's balloon?

http://wbztv.com/local/plane.lands.on.2.1156817.html I used to fly that plane a lot. I'm not at all surprised that this happened. Glad to hear the pilot is ok.

My Commercial X/C was just about the best learning experience I've ever had flying. Flew from SEE to GJT in a C150 round trip over the course of a week. Involved all kinds of great decision making and a lot of confidence building. Moutanins, wx, icing, passengers (once I got past the 250nm...

http://dir.salon.com/topics/p_smith/ this may have been posted here before....it's been a while since I've been on POA, so I don't know and (quite frankly), don't feel like searching to see if it has. A lot of stuff will be elementary to some of the knowledgeable people here on POA, but I...

Yeah, well, sorry....let's call it something else then.....performance art. Better?

Anyone know any skywriters that work in the Boston area? I have an artist friend who wants to do some "Guerrilla Art" using skywriting. Thanks

This was left in the comments section of Boston.com's website: "If in doubt, PANIC!"

great photos kids. love 'em.

Just goes to show ya that inspiration is everywhere.

I took a decibel meter up in a Cessna 152 a few years ago, and found that it was right around what you said. For those of you that care, that was A weighted. I don't remember if I checked C weighting or not, but it would probably be around 105-110dB.

The booze news. Never heard that one, but that's good.

Oops. In that case, a 747. I'd install a recording studio in the back and fly all over the world and make records with my zany musical friends. I'd charge them for the fuel that Mr Moneybags doesn't cover.

I must be an odd duck, because I don't lust after airplanes like a lot of pilots do. My dream airplane is the one that I happen to be piloting at any given moment. I'd probably pick an SR22 tho, just because I can fit tons of music gear in the back, they're relatively fast, and if I have to...

wow, I guess this is the definition of thread creep. very interesting stuff posted here, but can anyone answer the original question?

Would you mind doing a little research on this? This is a question that is driving me and my very intelligent CFII mad. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. EDIT: Would you guys mind explaining this so that a PPL would understand? It would be helpful to us hopeful future turbine guys...
