That must have been a GREAT experience!!! I was amazed the first time I watched the dawn patrol; I previously had NO idea how much the balloons lit UP as the burners fired!!

I went up in the Intel dawn patrol once, that was awesome! that was the first time i slept in a balloon lol c-town for the win!

Thanks much! Watching that event was SO much fun!!!

Nice images and music, well done.

I agree! I’m always amazed that people can sew all those massive amounts of fabric together and end UP with balloons that look so good! (versus a MESS if I!! had to put it all together! LOL)

wow thats amazing!
i have to do this someday!

That was cool the Sun and the Snowman were my aunt Carl’s she also did a daisy and so others in new Mexico with my parent’s! lol But good job!

really nice video well done and put together; i am a true balloon fanatic lol i’ve flown up twice before it is so much fun you feel as free as a bird and as light as a feather

i live in new mexico and i love seeing the balloon fest every year but the part that sucks is waking up at like 5 in the morning to see them fly but its worth it!!

let me know when you are intown again and maybe we can work it out. We try to fly once or twice a month and are allways looking for extra crew.

That WOULD make for a great video, and I’d LOVE to fly in a hot air balloon one day! Sounds like SO much fun!!! (Pete)

you should come fly with us and get some pics from the air!! that would be a great video too………

yay! I love the pics they are great! I’m working on getting my pilots licence to fly hot air balloons. they are amazing…all though I don’t think I’ll ever fly albuquerque…its too dangerous for my tastes…that many balloons together…someone is gonna get stupid.

Great video, nice work with a still camera. I had to pick it as a favorite. Thanx

I’ve been to many hot air balloon events, but have never actually been up in one yet, but everybody I’ve talked to loves it! (I’m more of a high speed adrenaline junkie (like ridin’ fast motorcycles)) (Pete)

How long have you been flying Hot Air Balloons?
Is it fun?

Thank you!! (and Hi to Kansas! (my mother grew up there )) (Pete)

Loved your video and the music you chose.

Did you have fun at the event? I bet you did! :) (Pete)

I’ve been to the event two different years. It’s an amazing experience! (Pete)

Yes, I live in Albuquerque, and not much happens here. I am glad we have something to look forward to like this!

It’s REALLY fun to get there in time to watch the “Dawn Patrol”! So the website for the event should say when that is, so I’d be there at least 30 minutes before that, so in other words, at this weekend event, I always assumed I wouldn’t be gettin’ much SLEEP for those days! :) Have FUN!! (Pete)

What time is the best to arrive? We figured to try and get there around 6:30?

I’m SURE she will!! I just LOVE watchin’ as the staging area goes from NO balloons up, to a whole “CITY” of towering balloons!! The whole experience is AMAZING! Be sure to arrive EARLY!!! (to avoid car traffic jams! )
