Festivals - Hot Air Balloons
The very first hot air balloon was launched on September 19, 1783. It's passengers: a sheep, a duck and a rooster! They flew for an amazing 15 minutes!
The first manned flight was in November 1783 when two brothers flew a balloon for 20 minutes in Paris. The first flight in America came in 1793 with George Washington present to witness the event.
Hot air ballooning has come a long way since then, laying some of the groundwork for some of man's most incredible space achievements!
These graceful giant balloons are a beautiful sight to see. A perfect way to spend an rv vacation with the family!
