    I love hot-air balloons! They're my favorite aircraft!❤❤❤❤
    My favorite hot-air balloons at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta are Tentai the Sequel, Rainbow Ryders, and my friend Mr. Andre Boucher from New Hampshire's hot-air balloons!❤❤

      @@OfftheCuff_Series The organization and the actual park. There was no balloon park in the beginning. They were taking off from the mesas or parking lots. In the beginning there were a lot more landings in unusual places. They really have it down to a science now.

    Wow - beautiful visuals all around. Takeoff at dawn, rising with the sun, being guided by the wind… Seems very peaceful and meditative until you remember you have to land a 600lb balloon, hahah. Super cool seeing how the wind at different elevations can move the balloons in opposite directions at 17:45
