Albuquerque, New Mexico - Flight

16/02/2016 - 09:00 - Andrew Holly

Perfect flying morning here Albuquerque with light winds and blue skies! With Albuquerque being the world capital of ballooning, this tour wouldn’t have been complete without this flight. Beautiful views over the Sandias this morning and a nice soft landing in town. No box winds for us to play with today but given the forecast for 10 knots and at 1am the airport still had 20 knots we are just happy that we could fly. We had Madeleine Schmitt with us today from TV network KRQE who was here to cover the story but also perfectly placed to give traffic reports on the I25 as we flew over. Now time to refuel, breakfast and an 8 hours drive to Lake Havasu City...
