EmerlistDavjack Posted January 18, 2021 Report Posted January 18, 2021 So I'm watching Mark Felton's recent video on Balloon Busters, and I hear this story I'd never heard before of a Belgian named Willy Coppens landing his Hanriot on a balloon and waiting until it slid off to restart the engine and fly away. I pull up the Wikipedia page and it claims he did this intentionally only after he did it before accidentally. Whether or not those things ever happened, he destroyed a remarkable 34 balloons, lost a leg, participated in the resistance in WWII, and lived to be 94. I have a sudden urge to see what happens if I try to land a Hanriot on a balloon in ROF. I mean, has anybody? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willy_Coppens Etzel, Lipfert, Razwald and 3 others 6 Quote
