How many people does it take to fly a balloon?

The sport of ballooning is a wonderful group or
family activity. To safely launch and fly a balloon
requires a minimum crew of two people. Duties
of the crew typically include launch preparation,
following the balloon flight in the chase vehicle,
obtaining permission of the landowner for the balloon
landing and retrieval, keeping spectators out of the
landing area, and insuring that gates are left as they
are found and that property is not damaged.
