Excuse my ignorance but why are there balloons in the Air Force?

In the old old days before Wright brothers, balloons and airships were used in wars to terrorise the enemy by dropping bombs from up high where bullets from the ground wouldn’t reach.

Guess that was probably the start of the Air Force.

Budget cuts. Those Super Hornets cost an absolute bomb compared to these babies.

Haha when I read the title with sleepy eyes I thought it was about captain raaf being on the Disney channel.

Dude in some parts looks freakishly like j k Simmons.

Haha, balloona eclipse!!

That was great, loved it!

That’s pretty cool. The segment is aired in Australia and New Zealand on the Disney Channel. They have had some NZ hot air Ballooning parents on this segment so advertising Canberra could be a good thing.

Where’s Gilly?
