All things ballooning
Fast landing
Landing the lightly loaded B-400 after our altitude flight.
Speed was somewhere above 15 knots at touch down. Last sighting of the GPS had us at over 32 knots at 100 or so feet.
The last few burns before contact with the tree were me clearing the lines in case it all went wrong.
Great fun!
