This will be the third time to witness the Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Festival held at Clark Field Pampangga every February and I must say each time I visit the volume of people who goes to enjoy the weekend of everything that flies grows. From my personal experience, the crowd is 4 times bigger than last year and the number of hot air balloons, pareagliders, divers doubled. Even the size of aircrafts that were showcased got bigger as in giant aircrafts usually used by te military during rescue and relief operations like C130 planes, jet fighter planes and the like!
Here’s some of the pics I got from my 3rd and last trip to the hot air balloon fest, the 17th Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Festival:
Btw. To those who wonder why this will be my last, Last because I think the number of people to visit each year will exceed the previous year and well I don’t want to go through the same inconveniences I had today! I’m glad I was with my bestfriend who was a talk machine and adventurous as me, the trip was something we charge to experience! I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the family who ket me and my best friend hitch a ride to the Main Gate of Clark Field! You are so kind! I hope you read this!
