change "ballooning" to "balloon"?

Question

ballooning is the only aircraft class for which the tag is the activity rather than the aircraft.

I think it should be balloons to parallel gliders helicopters airplanes etc

and i do mean changed, and not just made a synonym. we don't have gliding and soaring

I agree that it should be the name of the class, and not the activity.

Only a small nitpick, though. We do not have gliders helicopters airplanes, we have the singular forms: glider helicopter airliner. And thus I think it should be balloon.

$\begingroup$ @RockPaperLizard I don't see why not, but you could ask another question here on meta. $\endgroup$
