It's quite fun to watch these balloons prepare for flight. It takes a lot of man power to set everything up, while only one man flies the balloon. Two industrial fans are used to pump air into the pocket which takes quite a while. I thought it would be quite an elegant process entering the basket (maybe using a ladder or something like that), but actually you lie on you side while the basket is sideways, and wait for the balloon to lift the basket up. Quite a novel experience!
