Balloonists enjoy a down hill slide Visible spectrum surface winds in the Tasman sea on February 22, 2000. Note the arrows showing wind direction at different altitudes. For balloonist Dick Smith and pilot John Wallington, the run from the North Island of New Zealand to the North Coast of New South Wales, Australia, was always a down-hill slide!
