I saw it passing over Mechelen in French class. That would mean between 12.30 and 13.20 h.

:shock: :shock: damn, above Linden of all places :lol:

Blackhawk, do you know if in the future balloons will take off again next to the church? I remember that a few years ago 2 or 3 hot air balloons annually took off; but all of a sudden they stopped doing that :(

don't count on it. the woman who flew the balloons moved some years ago and since a balloon almost hit the church .... :p It became too dangerous since the new parkinglot was created. Once she tried to lift of from her back yard .... very bad idea :p

It was coming from the east, turned above the field near our house and went to the west / north - west
