When they fire off those gas burners, you can really feel the heat. Takes just a few minutes to get the balloons ready to lift off. Its quite an art to fill a balloon to capacity but not quite enough to lift off. Take about 3-4 people holding it down until the pilot can get aboard.

This is a great action shot! We have seen them fill the hot air balloons in Albuquerque and also in Del Mar, California a couple of times and it does take a lot of coordination indeed! We saw a few "accidents" at each event...a few feisty balloons that tried to get away without their pilot!
