Hey there Nature Nerds! We're baaaaack! This week Jen talks all things Hot Air Balloons, so strap on your parachute and enjoy! ;) Organization to Support: bfa.net (90% approval rating on charity navigator) Balloon Federation of America The BFA is a 501c3 non-profit association dedicated to the advancement of the sport and science of lighter-than-air aviation, both hot air and gas balloons. Founded in 1961, membership in the BFA is open to anyone who shares a fascination with Lighter Than Air flight. They seem to be the one stop shop for all balloon events and activities in the US for those who are interested. There are also charities that take disabled folks for free like the Cream Catcher Balloon non-profit out of Carlsborg, WA at dreamcatcherballoon.org Links: https://www.virginballoonflights.co.uk/blog/how-do-hot-air-balloons-work https://www.nationalballoonmuseum.com/about/history-of-ballooning/ https://seattleballooning.com/how-dangerous-are-hot-air-balloon-rides-low-risk/#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20Aviation%20Accident,air%20ballooning%20is%20even%20safer. https://www.space.com/16595-montgolfiers-first-balloon-flight.html https://napavalleyballoons.com/hot-air-balloon-facts.php https://balloonsgalore.co.uk/blog/ten-strange-facts-about-hot-air-balloons https://blog.gitnux.com/hot-air-balloon-crash-statistics/ https://www.austinmonthly.com/the-deadliest-hot-air-balloon-disaster-in-american-history/ https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-deadliest-hot-air-balloon-accidents-ever-recorded.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3113771/What-REALLY-happened-doomed-hot-air-balloon-flight-killed-19-passengers-dream-day-turned-carnage.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Carterton_hot_air_balloon_crash https://listverse.com/2017/06/16/top-10-horrific-hot-air-balloon-accidents/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Alice_Springs_hot_air_balloon_crash
