" Hi! I am Jeff Thomson and we talking with Expert Village. So you have just done flying your balloon and you need some place to store it. Well, as you can see there are several ways to store your hot air balloon and all depends on your personal choice. This is the rig that I have used for our passenger flights here in Orlando, Florida where the balloon stored on the back of the van and the balloon, the fabric part is actually inside the back of the van. As you can see you can also store your van or your balloon with the basket down, the bars that are on the uprights can come down and fold over and put a cover on. Here is a basket that is open here that has the upright, what we call the uprights, the bars are actually taken apart and down inside the basket along with the fuel tanks and there will be a cover over top of this. The balloon is bagged up into its bag after the flight and the balloon can be stored in a van, in a trailer or in the garage. The actual unit packs up into pretty much of a compact, some pilots even like to throw their envelope bag inside the basket and cover the whole thing. So storing a balloon is really not too difficult. I am Jeff Thomson for Expert Village and if you would like to learn more please visit thompsonaire.com and look at aircraft about the aircraft. Thanks and have a good day."
