14th Philippine International Balloon Fiesta
Last Valentines Day weekend, we went up north to Clark and Subic. The 1st agenda for Feb 14 was the 14th Philippine International Balloon Fiesta in Clark, Pampanga. We left home early because the balloon flight starts at 5:30 AM so before 5:00AM we were already in Clark, parked close to the main entrance and in a good spot to see the event.
5:47 AM, setup was in progress.
By 6:00 AM they started firing their burners.
When some of the balloon were partly inflated and the sun stretched its light, the program began with a large Philippine flag dropping from the sky guided by paragliders.
Up up and away!

Spectacular!
I have yet to see hot air balloon gatherings out here. The only ones I've seen so far are air shows with fighter and acrobatic aircraft.
Are there any air shows being held at the old U.S. bases?
