Hamlet the Flying Pig: Inside the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta

Flying in a hot air balloon is the closest you can get to touching a cloud, which is why pilots travel to Albuquerque, New Mexico every year to take part in Albuquerque’s International Balloon Fiesta. Go behind the scenes with a hot air balloon pilot as he prepares for this uplifting occasion.

What an incredible passtime to get involved in. I'm an inveterate hobbyist.... But I think this will take precedence over all. Just about silently drifting about above the Earth. Until the burners blast of course!
