What
a
great
experience
from
this
top
notch
company.
From
the
pick
up
to
our
drop
off,
they
did
not
disappoint.
Our
initial
flight
plans
over
Albuquerque
were
scrapped
due
to
the
winds
heading
straight
towards
the
airport,
so
we
headed
south
to
the
secondary
launch
site
by
the
Rio
Grande.
Quite
honestly
it
was
a
fortunate
turn
of
events
as
the
views
from
that
location
were
absolutely
breath
taking.
There
was
some
concern
due
to
rains
the
night
before
that
it
might
be
too
muddy
but
our
crew
found
a
great
take
off
spot.
We
found
out
later
some
other
balloon
companies
from
the
area
didn't
do
this
and
just
cancelled
their
flight
for
the
day.
Well
unfortunately
those
people
picked
the
wrong
company
and
missed
out
on
a
spectacular
flight!!!
After
unloading
and
preparing
the
balloon
for
take
off
we
all
hopped
aboard
for
our
journey.
Our
very
experienced
pilot
Brittany
did
an
amazing
job
guiding
us
on
our
adventure.
From
her
"corn
trick"
of
brushing
the
top
of
corn
stalks
to
flying
by
the
orphanage
in
the
area,
with
all
the
kids
outside
excitingly
watching
and
greeting
us
her
expertise
in
flying
and
controlling
the
balloon
was
very
evident.
We
all
felt
completely
safe
in
her
hands
for
anyone
who
might
have
any
concerns.
Her
true
love
of
flying
was
also
very
evident,
as
when
asked
how
she
liked
her
job
she
responded
with,
"What
job?"
In
fact
all
of
the
crew
members
displayed
a
true
passion
for
what
they
were
doing
which
showed
in
their
positive
attitudes.
Our
flight
lasted
a
little
over
an
hour
as
you
are
somewhat
at
the
mercy
of
the
winds
but
we
were
all
happy
to
have
a
little
extra
time,
and
I
don't
think
anyone
wanted
it
to
end.
After
a
superb
landing
(that
Brittany
made
look
easy),
we
waited
in
the
air
conditioned
van
as
the
crew
worked
tirelessly
to
pack
up
the
balloon
(no
easy
task).
From
there
it
was
a
quick
ride
back
to
headquarters
where
we
were
all
treated
with
Mimosa's,
coffee,
a
well
stocked
snack
tray,
and
visits
from
the
company
dogs
and
chicken
(a
true
blueberry
lover).
My
wife
and
I
have
been
on
many
adventures
and
we
both
say
this
was
one
of
the
best
we
have
ever
done.
That
feeling
of
just
gently
floating
over
the
amazing
landscape
and
beautiful
vistas
was
truly
an
experience
we
will
never
forget.
I
can't
express
enough
how
highly
I
would
recommend
a
balloon
ride
here,
but
if
you
do
be
sure
to
book
FLY
ALBUQUERQUE...
you
won't
be
disappointed.
Thank
you
to
Brittany
and
all
of
the
great
crew
there,
you
all
made
for
an
unforgettable
trip.
A
big
shout
out
to
our
driver
who
I'm
embarrassed
to
say,
I
have
forgotten
his
name
(this
happens
at
my
age),
but
he
made
our
drives
very
entertaining.
Let's
just
say
"The
most
interesting
man
in
the
world"
has
nothing
on
him!
We
hope
to
visit
Albuquerque
again
in
the
future
and
if
we
do,
a
second
flight
with
Fly
Albuquerque
will
be
first
on
our
list!
