I am the chief Instructor of a parachute centre and am looking to book a hot air balloon to come to Bad lippspringe in Germany (near) paderborn to drop parachutists in early June for about 3-4 days . I have a huge take off area and would like the jumpers to exit from about 4000 feet or higher within a 2km distance from the centre of my drop zone. Is this type of accuracy asking too much of a hot air balloon and does anyone know of any companies or individuals that might be interested ?

Thanks for the offer Bill but that's about 250 miles away, thanks again for the advice. regards Mick

4000 feet high is too low ! I am a french balloon pilot and i had an instruction period in gb in Bristol Balloon Fiesta a few years ago. We had to climb to 6500 feet before jumping. We had to be in négative flight, around 2 meters per second down. after the jump, when he left the balloon, i took 2 meters per second up......Amazing !!!! Where are you in Germay, it would be possible to come and make you fly. About flying, It is only possible in the morning, around two hours after Sun Rise, and in the evening around two hours before Sun set. During the day it is imposible to fly because of ascendances. Next month , i will live in switzerland in Biel, and at the end of april , i will take my balloon with me. I have some friends with big balloons available to make 2, 3, or 4 jumpers in the same time. It would be possible if you invite us in good conditions, around 3 persons, living and eating during the w-e, and some fees for the travel. Let me know more questions if necessary !!
