Ballooning
This are just some miscellaneous ballooning pictures that could be included in a general flying page someday.
You know this is gonna suck! Notice the winter coats — there for a reason. Rio Grande river water is in the buckets for a different reason
Nobody in this group could ever run for public office after these pictures! My history with this group goes back to the mid-90s; lots of balloon rallies in New Mexico
Far more relaxing than airplanes, although landing is a lot more unpredictable
Can't beat this shot! Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta 1999, I believe. (There's the water source for the buckets, by the way)
