Star Ballooning

10/11/2026

This splash ’n’ dash was the perfect sendoff! Fiesta took forever to arrive, then flew by in a flash (and a splash).

Thanks to our crew for making the long trek and sharing in the magic of Albuquerque. And to Spirit of '76 Hot Air Balloon and Enchanted Endeavor Balloon: Fiesta wouldn’t have been nearly as fun without all the laughs, the 🍾, and the camaraderie.

Until next time, Land of Enchantment! 🎈

Great first morning at Fiesta!

Tomorrow our team arrives in Albuquerque for the big event!

Saturday is our first flight and is the start of the main festival. The time difference is 2hrs from the east coast so it’s likely we’ll be launching during your breakfast!

This is the link to Fiesta Live which streams the event each morning:

Amazing weekend at the Flying Circus Air Show. This event is always a highlight and it didn’t disappoint! Two great flights and a glow. First biplane ride for our future pilot. Great friends from all over. Let’s do it again!

What a great weekend at Balloons Over Rockbridge - VA in Lexington, VA, celebrating America’s 250th! This year looked a little different for us as we stepped into the role of Balloonmeister, but it only deepened our connection to this incredible community, the event, our fellow pilots, our crew, and the joy of flying in Lexington. The magic was truly in the air.
