Re: Possible for temp situations; but permanent??

Have you ever tried to "catch" a free balloon? Even with a piloted balloon, the thing comes down in somebody's yard or field and you're usually depending on the good graces of the landowner to not object while you collect, fold, pack, etc.

I suspect any prolonged series of repeat landings would provoke (at best) strong legal objections from the downwind landowners, or possibly (at worst) a face-off with a shotgun toting property owner.
