The_Don 0 #1 October 11, 2010 Pull into the DZ Friday , spot what looks like an orange pilot chute hooked to a very long & heavy duty white cord. Turns out it's a weather balloon launched the night before from Peachtree City in Atlanta. The box at the end of the cord contains instructions to send it to Kansas City, Missouri along with a prepaid mailing bag. They want to know when & where it was found and they can reuse the instrument after they get the data out of it. Will mail it out tomorrow. How cool! I am NOT being loud. I'm being enthusiastic!
