	Unknown Unknown	Off Airport () USA - Vermont, June 18, 2011	Nate Conrad Contact
	Registration/Serial No. | Remarks & Notes
	Unknown (cn Unknown) June 18, 2011. At the Quechee Hot Air Balloon Festival in Quechee, VT, hot temperatures, high humidity, and little to no wind made for an interesting festival. As heard on the scanner, nearly all of the 30+ balloons ended up making emergency landings as they could not maintain lift. While balloon pilots are generally quite skilled at landing balloons wherever they want, that's not always an option and sometimes you take what you can get and count your blessings you're on the ground and not in the tree tops! This particular balloon managed to squeeze between the trees and set down on the road. Some balloons gently floated to the ground, despite full throttle on the torches; others dropped quite quickly. To my knowledge, no injuries have been reported.

	Registration/Serial No. | Remarks & Notes
	66-0177 (cn 300-6203) March 23, 2011. This Lockheed C-141C, known as the Hanoi Taxi, became world famous on February 12, 1973 when it was the first aircraft to touchdown in Hanoi, North Vietnam to repatriate American POWs. In May, 2004, the Hanoi Taxi once again made history when Maj. Gen. Edward J. Mechenbier, himself a POW of Vietnam, flew it back to Vietnam to repatriate the remains of two American service members killed in action. The aircraft is currently on display outdoors, but the museum plans to move it indoors pending the completion of a 4th hangar for the museum.
