A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

So when I asked about a hot air balloon and got an answer about an airplane, yes that's the wrong answer.
But never mind. It appears that people here are in their "moods" today so I will go find the answer somewhere else.
I may be wrong,(sure as hell wont be the first time),but I'm pretty sure,if it 'flys' the FAA has jurisdiction. Short of a 'small' RC plane.
Where's than avation guy when you need him?

Just like to point out that when I think of "Force One" I think of either
1) Aerosmith's Fan Club
2) An Air Plane
Didn't realize the balloon had a name. I guess that must make the one at DTD "Worthless Waste of Space Force Once"
A good photograph means knowing where to stand

So by your logic. Just becasue it flies, then it's all the same. So a Balloon pilot has the same skill to fly a 747. And anyone that can fly a kite can jump into a F117A Jet and fly for the air force.

I am just going by what Disney called the balloon. "Ear-force One"
Mental note: Do not ever ask questions on SGT.com
Will result in getting treated like scum.

I think you may need to reread what he said, he said "if it 'flys' the FAA has jurisdiction" not that anything that flies is the same, they just fall under the same jurisdiction and regulations.
There's no place like 127.0.0.1

OKAY,I'll give a very good example. 3 years ago the place I worked at,wanted to fly/float a 'tethered' balloon/blimp for a tent sail we were having. As they were walking out of the warehouse with this thing,I asked if they checked with the FAA and/or the Air Force base. (the store is in the flight path) This balloon is no bigger than my Suburban btw. After a few phone calls,we got permission,AS LONG AS,it was no higher than the building and had to down before sunset. If not a MAJOR fine would be imposed.

A balloon pilot must have a pilots license and if they are carrying passengers they must have a commercial pilots license. I know several ballooners who do fly 747's for a living and then have their balloon for fun.
