I Love The Weekend

There is a big hot air balloon fest near Raleigh this weekend. They are so pretty. Doesn't look like the link works :/

Here, an ultralight can only carry one, is limited to 5 US gallons of fuel, 254 lbs total empty weight and a 55 knots top cruising speed. It's pretty restrictive, but the appealing thing to me is being out there with the wind in my face. Look at the Quicksilver open cockpit planes. The two seaters aren't ultralights, and require a light sport license to fly.
