18th Annual Philippine Int'l Hot Air Balloon Fiesta

Breitling Jet Team

As a recreational aviator, I find the annual balloon fiesta (18 years running and going strong) a truly delightful annual weekend activity at Clark, Pampanga. This year was particularly special with the participation of the Breitling Jet Team. I hope they will make our hot air balloon fiesta an annual stop in their yearly schedule of aerobatic exhibitions all over the world. Kudos to Joy Roa for this terrific addition to the fiesta!  Here's a brief clip of their show on Sunday morning, February 24, 2013:
