Subject: [WSBARP] Hot Air Balloon Problems

Mates-

Does anyone have any experience addressing hot air balloons frequently flying loud and low over private property on their way to a landing site? Client lives in a rural area and keeps horses who get seriously spooked by the balloons, which often come well below 200 feet on their way to a landing site on a neighbors’ property, sometimes as low as 50 feet.  They come in as close as they do purely for the sake of convenience—because it’s close to the driveway and balloon passengers don’t have to walk across a field to get picked up after their ride.  At least one horse has been ruined in terms of spookiness. Neighbor with the landing site does not care.  Balloon company does not care.  FAA does not care.  I don’t like writing “hard” letters if I don’t have a hard thing to swing and I’m coming up dry on real hard things to swing at the balloon company or the neighbor who is allowing the company to land on his property.
