The story
A hot air balloon on your radar is flying the oldest trick in aviation. In September 1783 a Montgolfier balloon carried a sheep, a duck and a rooster aloft, and that November the first people flew free over Paris. It goes where the wind goes. That's the whole flight plan.
Fun fact
The first untethered manned flight in history was a hot air balloon over Paris in 1783.
