Balloons over Albuquerque
The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is held in October each year. In 2002 I participated as a chase crew member of the BIG RED team.

The crew of BIG RED prepares for take-off. That's Bill Wilson in the white hat with the pilot, Warren Smith. Pat Wilson is part of the chase crew.	BIG RED passes over the field to drop a marker bag on the target. The altitude of the balloon is controlled to find the wind to carry it over the target.
