Balloons over Waikato 2008 - The dawn patrol. (10/10/09) [View | Hide]
This video is for my aviation website: www.nzaviation.com I was told I'd have to get up early to catch a selected group of balloonists taking to the air before first light. With the lure of a free breakfast for the first 2000 spectators filed through to collect their freebies while in the background the first few balloons were being inflated. As each balloon was inflated and took to the sky it started to look like floating candles. This was the first time that I had seen this with my own eyes so seeing it thought the eyes of a camera just didn't do it any justice. This video shows a selection of the "Dawn Patrol" balloons filling and then taking off.
Pilot Murray Shaw pilots his balloon Whisky (N9029Q) down for a landing. The goal was to stay in the air for more than 30 minutes and try and land as close as they could to the place they departed from as quick as they could after the allotted time in the air. Mr Shaw and Crew came within 10-20 meters of his intended goal after being in the air some time. Once they landed where ever it was they had to get an official time and place by getting a signature from anyone who witnessed them land. The winner would be the pilot who kept their balloon up for the least amount of time after 30 minutes and who landed closest to the point they took off.
Balloons over Waikato 2008 - Music. (10/10/09) [View | Hide]
I attended balloons over Waikato a few years ago and here is a video that I made for my www.nzaviation.com website. A quick recap of the first two days Balloons over Waikato 2008. I only was able to stay for the first and second day due to other commitments. Armed with a video camera and little knowledge of the event or ballooning in general I started rolling the camera as it happened. This year's highlights were defiantly Darth Vader and the Flying House. Music is by http Go check out his other music on his website.

Today I travelled to Pines beach located a few kilometres north of Kaiapoi. A short walk around the bay and you come to Kairaki Beach which lines the banks of the Waimakariri River. There is no camping around these areas but if youre a keen fisherman there is nothing stopping you from getting out there to catch your dinner.
