I'm actually having trouble deciding if that's a capture, or a release.

This balloon is actually being replaced in two weeks. The replacement is 6metres long and has it's own 8m long trailer .
Yes it is great advertising. We get two to three jobs from passers by everytime we send it up. The new balloon will have the ability to carry signage which we will offer to companies looking to advertise at sporting events etc.

Yes it will be a two man operation. Since the last man is now probably floating somewhere over the Antarctic I'll be needing a replacement. No prior experience required as training will be provided, however applicants with concrete boots will be viewed favourably .
