 The four tapes in the Sunrise Sunset series came about from requests that balloonists made for us to compile our ballooning footage into videos they could enjoy & share with others. We strive to provide just the right music to back the balloons.
|
There are now four DVD's in the series
that take you from the hot air balloon factories of England, to the mountains
of central Mexico. The tapes include scenes shot over Andrews Air Force Base in Washington D.C., competitions from Texas and Baltimore, as well as just neat scenes of people having fun ballooning.

The
Fort Worth International Balloon Rodeo
 
Festival attracted over 60 balloons from all over the country. Box winds, usually non-existent in this part of Texas, made the Saturday morning competition particularly interesting.

It began with a "Moonshine" and included a "key grab"
event for a 1993 Chevy truck. We show
a pilot evaluating various launch sites in the "key grab" event and another
launching quickly after the "hare balloon" mistakenly launched early. Multiple
balloons are seen hurriedly launching to compete in the evening's flight.
