HOT AIR BALLOON

My hubby was at the 15th Hot Air Balloon Festival held last February 5, 2010, Friday at Clark Field Pampanga. I was not able to join because I have work so I have to make do with the pictures taken by his friend. Thanks to Aldrich for lending me this wonderful pictures.

The activity started as early as five in the morning. Participants started preparing. There were about 20 to 25 participants according to my hubby.

There were interesting balloon figures like the turtle, the house, the sun (my daughter's favorite) and the beer. There was of course the usual balloon shape but they come in different colors and sizes.

Aside from the usual hot air balloons, there were gliders who added excitement to the show.




I assume that the Gliders are members of the Philippine Air Force. I could be wrong but never the less, they still are an added attraction.

Below are some of the pictures of the balloons at the Festival. These are the interesting ones.

When you say Hot Air Balloon Festival, you think of balloons only. Make this an exception. Aside from the usual flying of hot air balloons, there were booths (although there were no enclosures) where you can take pictures wearing military gears, guns, ammunitions and gadgets.

It also includes taking pictures with the military personnel and their toys/vehicles like the pump boat, military jeep, helicopters and planes. There were no fees involved...surprisingly.

All in all, it was probably an exhausting day but it was full of fun activities.
