Does K9YO get a bill from the Air Force for the flight time, fuel, labor and materials? 73MarkK5MGJ On Thursday, February 16, 2023 at 02:45:13 PM CST, John Denison via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote: I'm guessing they're about $60,000 each, and it would probably be cheaper to fire cash at the balloons. The plus side is that the recovery effort would be much quicker.

BTW, the Naval Academy's midshipmen balloon experiment site (linked under the pico balloon picture) is extremely interesting. I'm not a "ballooner," but that site piqued my interest!
