Private jet is almost brought down by a bundle of 20 party BALLOONS floating above London City Airport
" The Cessna 560 was leaving London City airport when the pilot saw the balloons
" A group of 20 black and yellow balloons floated into the private jet's path
" The pilot was forced to knock-off the autopilot and turn to avoid the balloons
" The UK Airprox Board said there was a 'definite risk of collision' with the balloons
" A bundle of party balloons caused a business jet's flight crew to shout 'watch out!' and take avoiding action shortly after take-off from London City Airport.
" The Cessna 560 reached an altitude of 2,300 feet when the near miss occurred, the UK Airprox Board (UKAB) said.
" One of the pilots on board spotted a group of 20 black and yellow balloons up to three metres wide approaching the aircraft and shouted 'watch out!' to their colleague.
Great airmanship !!!
