Tale of Two Views: Amazing perspectives here from the hopper balloon I captured the other day along the Genesee River at Letchworth State Park at the Upper Falls there. Video on left is what I captured from inside the park, video on right is what skilled pilot Kevin Raymond caught at the same exact moment as balloon was gliding by the cascade. Kevin hosted a group of experienced balloon pilots from the New England states last weekend, they launched their hopper balloons from various spots outsid

Splash & Dash: A group of skilled balloon pilots from the New England states spent the last few days in Western New York around the Letchworth State Park area, launching from outside the park. A rare “splash & dash” was performed just beyond the base of the massive Middle Falls on the Genesee River there. Aboard a hopper balloon, the pilot touched the riverbed—walked several feet—then ascended. It’s very rare to see this in that spot. I’ll continue to document…from afar. | John Kucko Digital
