5:17 am
we to bets, doesn't i? a passion, so hot tabulating as you can tell from home. and i said, well, someone once tried to count on the balloon items here, but lost count re to 1st goes into hotel ballooning. so 2 years ago at that place, a friend of mine 1st started talking about hot air ballooning, and i said i'd like to try it myself. there was no gps based technology like this to help us. so each team was assigned an observer to record the results that me and that's how i did my 1st race session. it became quite a love affair. she's an engineer by profession and teaches mathematics. she's now preparing for her 1st well championships in her country hungry in the city of say good men and women will compete in the same category. but there are for a few, a women, pilots, and hoss have learning with many choosing somebody likes the sports that read to says she chose bags. instead of fortunately,
5:18 am
i included the family with it and sometimes we went hang gliding with a baby in a stroller. i took her to a race with us and the best net watch while my mom's flu or my mom came down to watch her while life lives. and when she was older, my mom would help and take care of schoolwork and when i get, what am i going to come show you that session? i just feel that she has to do, which is one of them is also training to become a pilots. you can't take off the whole tabulated alone. you need to team 3 to is assisted by have pot. now your shift who also has piloting experience years. yes, helps with the technique measuring the wind and driving between target on the grounds. you know, so i'm going to talk to you. i think rita, is it, that's a pilot that i am, and that's why she should fly while i stay on the ground where she has been improved by organize the finances, try to bring the money in while she flies ish. we spend it on a common hobby, essentially, but it was not a federal standing up and started happening,
5:19 am
reaches home life is connected to what's happening and it's not just tough to to that proves that she and yours. yes. first match i sent events and avoids. i met my ex husband at a hot air balloon competition. after 20 years we went our separate ways, but both continued ballooning. we had met and that'll be it was just during that time i asked him to help me out as a team member several times and eventually we got together another sample chandler . it's not like any one hop does it. and the other half of it goes along with their tool. not. i think it's like a disease and infection this flight that leaves people together. and we think that are in the same way of doing that, but it can be shipped and do that to them. to team is not enough, you will send these ideal conditions to take off. some wind is needed too much, is no good. every takeoff is preceded by intense preparations for the good. now we for the burner on, we're putting the gas pipes in here behind this cover so that they don't get in the
5:20 am
way and so that they don't get stuck on me. it go from now the burner test, the physical for the balloon holds 4000 cubic meters. we bought it 2nd hand in australia and we can carry passengers with it of ass. and while on my racing balloon is like an opal that competes against the jaguars. so it looks good and you can race with it to some extent, but while i'm on the front of it, there are other balloons that can ascend much faster. huh. your show back, i do, sir. is she a disagree effect? off the blowing in 4000 cubic meters of hotel re to is ready for the take of everything goes smoothly. and a few minutes late to the news is in the, the more than i have a fear of heights, but i don't feel it in the balloon. from the uh, everything seems different. there's
5:21 am
a sense of calm. but only because rita has things under control. she checks the wind data on the map on how to black. ballooning isn't cheap. the single flight costs small than $500.00 to euro's. sorry after them. unfortunately for our own enjoyment, we can rarely afford to fly because it's expensive until we have a sponsor, and we can't afford to do it regularly. i'm so different, i guess. so we really only fly competitively. if we have passengers, let's say the racing takes the money, the passengers can make some of the back. but at 900 meters, it's no soul about money funding from. i think it's indescribable. the piece really, when you don't have to heat it, i guess it's quite different when you're buying, just like that compared to a competition where you're concentrating on the task here and you can enjoy the scenery. see what you can see from up there. it's quite different from down there, i guess management plan to us. in the 2nd, the preparations for the world championships are already underway
5:22 am
a day before the official. i think some of the competitors, including rita and 10 mudy recruited team coming for a test drive. they begin the takeoff in the middle of the city from us football page as they inflate the balloon locals watch with interest rates. this balloon arrives safely at the agreed, spelled 5 kilometers away. the team has done well. it's a new team and we needed to prepare for the world, the cottonwood we delay and take off until the last minute. but there wasn't much time to talk through tasking with connecting with the we managed window is 5 in the morning of the big day. the well championship begins a 130 of the world's best pilot sagacity for the briefing. the weather is over the cost and the teams of waiting for the latest wednesday to find the lead. the pilots get ready for the situation remains on something about if the flight was free, i go back to bed. the teams begin to gather,
5:23 am
waiting for the race judge's final decision. but the weather intervenes. the weather is not right for the fly because it's already raining and their strong wind up high, which is set to come down. you will have 10 meter per 2nd wind soon. that's just a part of it. the winter is press 2 in the afternoon and the full cost is good. teams don't to impact. that's so close together that sometimes the balloons as touching the well then a $120.00 balloons take off the pilot. so supported by data from the ground. the. the data didn't come up quarterly, it's uh 265129. 44 just makes measurements with balloons and transmits it to the sky. technology is that for everyone as a team from a well see, a country has a better option to collect the data. we also we used to say it's 50 percent talent,
5:24 am
50 percent locked on for so you can fly precisely. but the wind might turn in the last 50 to 150 meter. that's what you want it. obviously, if you want to win the sense of measurement that is very accurate, you can use 10 to 15 of those guy just to get an accurate reading quantity of the problem that helps a lot was figured, we used 3 prob don't, they use 15 percent of it's just a question of money to finish. good. hesitant, well says the name of one of the tasks they have to perform in the yeah. the balloons don't race, but maneuver and perform challenges. some of them involve throwing a mock up from the balloon at target on the ground. they also have to fly into certain areas which are checked by officials using gps data. they have multiple flights during the week, depending on the weather. pilots get points to that performance each day and the pilot with the most points wins. although it looks nice,
5:25 am
the weather conditions proved tricky in this boat to climate change is having an impact. is that see, i don't 1000 and see if the wind stopped completely and so we didn't expect it to be that strong on the ground the ship. it was almost stronger than any wind up there. the weather is not changing favorably. very often the wind is still good on the ground level, but it's already stronger at 3 level. it's not favorable and these thunderstorms and so on becoming much more unpredictable academy regardless of the weather, the competition requires a lot of background work. no, certainly from the pilots, but also from that teams. the balloons a heated with gas which has to be refilled off to each flight. the capabilities differ teams from western europe, north america or asia often have new uh, and like to equipments and logic teams reach his team is smaller. that might see if she's assisted by shorter who is just about to go to university. they are one of the few female pilots,
5:26 am
the co pilot passed the events. shara plans to follow and reach his foot steps and become a pilot test. so i think dr. young, i mean, i watch the other big ones so that rita can keep an eye on the instrument. well, i mean, because it's always the low up and the one that has priority because you cannot see ports if someone starts to rise above us, we have to rise to so that they don't to the us. if we wanted to send a check, if someone is a relative, i took the time, i look at the coordinates and things like that, cuz we, i'm off to a quick sleep back to the race. another doing another briefing. the team smelt to get ready in 6 folk as it lift the balloons can take off even in the add, the balloons almost touch. after a difficult stopped, everything goes smoothly in the sky and rita has her best day at the world championships. but the winds make navigation tricky once again as on record when you as then and then the others, the send it smoothly. but then the wind pushes you out in the wrong direction. it
5:27 am
doesn't help. maybe my balloon has a different shape like where i don't need it so much because i'm trying to take care of it and then we get you on that for maybe it's just bad luck. i don't know, but i don't feel that the luck factors working for me yet. to me as i'm going through the settings of folks to doesn't like him though it was due to the volatile weather conditions. early 5 of the 10 planned flights could take place that the whole event retail finished false in the women's category at the world championships. who will have the number to i'm not happy with my result. that's for sure. it was an easy flying between so many balloons. nor with my beloved, it required a lot of going up and down very quickly. it was difficult to track so many balloons at once. sort of forget, i can ignore them and not care about what might happen if we crash. but i moved up a 117 places in the world rankings validated, so that's not a bad result. manual setup man. all the while championship is over,
5:28 am
this sport remains an important part of reaches life. hotel, ballooning is no, certainly an unpredictable spot that always brings us something surprising. it's a passion that connects with her family and friends and a special way of life, including the deposit for a moment to see where you've been, stay the only make it strictly a. for example, if the women's world championships are held, there might have been new america, japan, and ballooning is what got me there. despite the financial implications through how tab ballooning rita can explode the wealth from new heights. the
