[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 4223130, member: 745"] ...Or one could drop it from 40,000 feet with a small drogue chute and have it air-burst about 100 feet or so in the air, up wind of the target city or military base, etc. Wouldn't launching something like that balloon from US soil require some sort of permit from the FAA? There is more to this balloon story than this lame attempt to dismiss it as something benign. Oh, and where does a person go to buy a 50 foot tall hobbyist balloon? Amazon doesn't even carry them bigger than 28' in diameter as far as I have been able to find. Oh, I know. "Aerial Spy Balloons Я Us". Woody [/QUOTE]
