Arrival and Departure Points for Hot-Air Balloons

Testing the new hot-air balloon transportation system for the Hilbert School District will require arrival and departure points. The Hilbert 7th grade has determined that the practice field situated west of the football stands and east of the wooded area would be suitable for dropping kids off in the morning and picking them up after school. Departure and arrival points for picking them up in the morning and dropping them off at night have yet to be determined, but several area farmers are considering volunteering their fields for that purpose. Pictures of the school’s landing and take-off site appear below.
