Title
2006 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta® was granted the honor of hosting the 49th Coupe Gordon Bennett by the Ballooning Commission of the Federation Aéronautique Internationale, along with Balloon Federation Of America and the National Aeronautic Association.
- Dating back almost 100 years, the Gordon Bennett race is the premier gas balloon distance race, and attracts some of the most experienced and distinguished pilot teams from around the world. This legendary race is often compared to the America’s Cup Yacht Race for the endurance necessary to compete and win. And while the mission of the race is simple, executing that mission is anything but easy.
