Join the ZAB crew as we staff up to kick off the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta!

"From a small gathering of 13 balloons in 1972, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta has grown to become the largest balloon event in the world. Held each year during the first week in October, the Balloon Fiesta attracts hundreds of thousands of guests to Balloon Fiesta Park to experience a nine-day extravaganza of color and excitement, celebrating the world's oldest aviation sport, ballooning. The event not only features hot air balloons but also the prestigious gas balloons."

Fly in to Albuquerque... We'll be staffing KABQ as the featured airport, with additional staffing at Double Eagle KAEG just a few miles west of KABQ. Do you remember who has the right of way?
