NJ Festival of Ballooning (1)

last Saturday I went to Solberg airport photographed the 31st Festival of ballooning. It was the first time in my life, very interesting, there were a lot of stories,,,

Here I 'd like to have a bit of histry about the hot air balloon,

The first recorded manned flight in a hot air balloon took place in Paris. Built from paper and silk by the Montgolfier Tbrothers, this balloon was piloted on a 22 minute flight by two noblemen from the court of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. From the center of Paris they ascended 500 feet above the roof tops before eventually landing miles away in the vineyards.
