I heard there were about 5 hard landings in Albuquerque this year too. I'm glad you were not one of them and that you had a good flight. :)

Yes, two special shapes were among them. Oggy the dinosaur was destroyed and Sunny Boy had a mishap but was flying the next day.

The wind picked up horribly that day. We also had a tear in the flag, but we were able to have it repaired that day.

Oh man, that's too bad. I really love the special shapes. They're my favorites. :)

It had been raining in NM for a couple of days before the festival started and the storms were bringing a lot of wind. Over the years there have been a few people killed in Albuquerque ballooning accidents. I believe they were wind related accidents. I'm glad you guys didn't get hurt and got the Flag fixed. :)
