点评:Had a flight scheduled at the National Balloon Classic on Tuesday night. Flight was canceled due to winds aloft being to high. Luckily we were able to get a reservation for Thursday morning. Thursday morning came and it was to foggy for any balloons to fly. Unfortunately we couldn’t get another reservation because they were sold out. Disappointing yes, but we understood that safety is a first when flying a hot air balloon. Some passengers on the cancelled flights were rude to the staff of Galena On The Fly because of the canceled flights. I’m not sure if these people think Andy controls the weather 🤷🏻♂️. We were not charged anything and Andy and the other pilots were just as disappointed as us passengers. I mean, that is how they make a living, if they don’t fly they don’t make money.
The other balloons were able to fly because they don’t have passengers and their balloons are a lot smaller and only need to fly for a short time to complete the competition. Flying conditions for ride balloons are completely different than balloons with no passengers. I, for one, say thanks for thinking of the safety of my family before money in your pocket. I will definitely schedule a ride in Galena soon and hope that Andy does better at controlling the weather. (Yes, that was sarcastic.) Thanks again Galena On The Fly for being safe and thinking of your customers first.

其他气球之所以能飞,是因为它们没有乘客,而且它们的气球要小很多,只需要飞行很短的时间就可以完成比赛。乘坐气球的飞行条件与空载气球的飞行条件完全不同。就我个人而言,感谢您考虑我家人的安全而不是口袋里的钱。我一定会尽快安排去加利纳骑行,并希望安迪在控制天气方面做得更好。 (是的,这很讽刺。)再次感谢 Galena On The Fly 确保安全并首先考虑您的客户。
