We’re really sorry about your spy balloon.
You don’t seriously think anyone believes it was for weather research, do you?
Still, we feel a little bad it had to end with one of our F-22s taking it out with an AIM-9X Sidewinder missile, and initially thought about offering to take you to Party City to pick up a replacement.
They have quite the selection, apparently, and they even let you play with their helium tanks if you ask really nicely.
Unfortunately we don’t think the parking lot is long enough to handle an F-22 landing or subsequent takeoff.
Maybe you’ll find a pretty new balloon on Amazon. We think the purple mylar one with the unicorn on it is rather fetching, but we understand if you’re partial to red.
Sincerely yours,
1st Fighter Wing

Langley Air Force Base, Virginia
