What a great video! Thanks for giving us such a wonderful view of the balloons, the sky, and the ground action. You really brought us along on the journey. It sure was fun!!
THank you Susan, I tried to make every shot count. . . It is a surreal event being surrounded by these giants that then took-off and flew away. Only to be replaced by another. I'll make another next season.
I have flown in a few from the local company who books flights daily. I have separate footage of those flights (not yet posted) but wanted to only show the balloons at the festival, rather than my personal flights. Good idea though @@Wakotako-32870
THanks Tammy, for a price, anyone can purchase a "ticket to ride". Flights during Ballon Fiesta (1st week of Oct) are double the cost compared to the rest of the year (or off-peak, non-holiday about $170 a person). There are 2 full-time balloon ride companies that fly most every day of the year here in Albuquerque. I have flown a few times and will post a video of my 1hr long rides (once I get time to edit the footage).
If I spend 1 hour in a balloon at approx 2500-3000ft? in Albuquerque and all the while the earth is spinning at 1600 KMs/hr=1000 mph(NASA) from west to east,how is it possible to land in virtually the same place(allowing for wind etc)? Shouldn't one land near San Fransisco???
Good point David. As you know, hot air balloons are traveling along almost at the same speed as the wind they happen to be in. The times I took a ride in balloons, you don't feel the presence of wind because you are moving with it. Also amazingly quiet up there but can hear all the dogs barking at you.

Just like one hundred and thousand hot air balloons there
That’s a lot of job right there
THanks Philippe
There is like one hundred thousand balloons right there
Typically, there are 500 balloon launches per day of this 9 day event here in Albuquerque. Arguably the most photographed event in the world.
