Coming back after the flight
The retrieve crew is never far away, following the balloon and in radio contact. People who have friends or family in the balloon are welcome to follow in their own cars, but must be prepared to travel at speed to keep up with the retrieve vehicle. After landing, people following are asked not to enter the farmer's fields until permission has been obtained by the retrieve crew.

The balloon will then be packed away and the flight celebrated in the traditional manner with a champagne toast. First flight certificates will be presented to commemorate the occasion and a chance to purchase a souvenir mug or sweatshirt, passengers will then be transported back to the launch site. It is wise to allow 3 - 4 hours for the complete outing.
