This tape is backed by beautiful music from the city's symphony and includes other musical segments of the Mexican culture. This unique video does an excellent job of drawing you in to share the enjoyment that was experienced by the balloonists during this special balloon event. This event allows balloon pilots to fly in otherwise very controlled air space. The tape captures the flights over the field and into the country-side. Clips of the air show include the Air Force Thunderbirds and other aircraft.
Video focuses on setup, flights, landing and recovery of the balloons participating in the event.
Competitive flights were flown in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. The event's moon glow is captured from the air by helicopter. Box winds, usually non-existent in this part of Texas, made the Saturday morning competition particularly interesting. Multiple balloons are seen hurriedly launching to compete in the evening's flight. Forty balloons participated in this event that includes some of the greatest scoring scenes we've documented.
