“what are those clouds, Ginger?”
”Strato Cumulus, lnexperienced Balloonist”
“What's the altitude, Ginger?“
“Pretty high lad, pretty high"
“Gosh. How often have you been up, Ginger?"
“More times than you've had hot dinners, sonny”
“What's this made of then, Ginger?”
“Wicker”
“What's this bit of string do?“
“Don't...”
The final words of Ginger Matthews and an unknown inexperienced balloonist, as transcribed from the in-flight recorder shortly before their tragic deaths.
lyrics
Fly with me soon, in my balloon
Up in the sky, flying so high
In my balloon
Oh, I feel fine, up in the sky
Floating with you, through the white and the blue
In my balloon
We'll say cheerio, to the people below
Then we'll fly to the stars, Venus and Mars
In my balloon
