Night Hot air Balloons at Tauranga

Hosting the first small Hot air balloon event at
the nearby Tauranga racecourse on 3rd October
,4 balloons were inflated but not lifting in front of a lazer light show and 7000 people attending.My personal opinion is that the event was overpriced for such a small showing of 4 balloons which all remained on the ground!!!!



Cameron 0-90 ZK-WON

The middle Balloon is Bolland Pheonix ZK-PHX

Cameron 0-90 ZK-RYB

Kubicek BB22Z ZK-FRG






Taupo will repeat this event in late November so hopefully a few balloons wound,nt go a miss
