how does one become a ‘balloon expert’?" Have a couple of thousand hours piloting a balloon. That would make most people an expert at it.

does a 1000 hours piloting a cesna make one a '747 expert'?
i'm not trying to be difficult. i'm just saying this wasn't a regular hot-air balloon. this was a homemade mylar balloon.
