Here is an interesting video that came out of the recent Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta that I wrote about in my most recent post ‘Hot Air!‘. Strapping an engine and propeller onto your back while dangling from a parachute is an interesting, if not unconventional, way to fly. However, I’m not sure if I want to add it to my aviation related ‘Bucket List’ of things to experience!

In addition to the obvious aviation aspects of this video, it also gives some glimpses of the balloon launch field at the Balloon Fiesta Park, the corporate and vendor tents surrounding that launch field, and Albuquerque’s Sandia Mountains in the background.

Enjoy the flight!
