From its humble beginning in 1972 when 13 hot-air balloons ascended from an Albuquerque shopping center parking lot to a stunning annual gathering of 500-plus aeronauts; the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta lives on as the most-photographed air show on the planet. As you page through this book; imagine yourself going along for the ride and soaring to new heights. Or if you prefer to keep your feet on the ground; imagine yourself strolling among hundreds of swaying giants; seemingly lost in a dizzying kaleidoscope of color. Join in the camaraderie that draws pilots and fans to Albuquerque from all over the world. You will find yourself mesmerized by the Balloon Fiesta�s signature events and its spirited competition among hot-air balloon pilots. As an added attraction; step back in time to when hydrogen-gas balloons once graced Albuquerque skies and enjoy the fascinating world of silent flight; the America�s Challenge Gas Balloon Race.
