BALLOON BLUNDER
Experienced hot-air balloon enthusiasts Irene and Rich Wheeldon, along with balloon pilot Tim Cloyd and an unnamed 13-year-old passenger, rose into the skies just before dawn during the 2022 National Balloon Classic in Iowa.
The Wheeldons had flown with Tim many times before, and considered him one of the best pilots around. But on this particular morning Tim’s skill was no match for mother nature.
