My how times have changed the balloon technology. Here are a few scanned slides (have not tried to clean em up, sorry for the dust) from around 1980 of a mass liftoff. This was when they were still starting in a field at I25 and San Mateo. We lived in Academy Acres, just on the other side of I25. Many times balloons would go directly over our house; attempting to land in a park two blocks away. Its a great time of year to be in New Mexico; warm days, cool nights, and the aspen are usually golden up on Santa Fe mountain.

Thanks for the comments and I like your pictures.Times and balloon technology have indeed changed quite a bit along with more rigid safety requirements.Also,there are probably 3 times as many balloons or more.

The shot with the moon is nice, but Smokey is tops in my book. I did enjoy them all.
