Participants at the 21st annual White Sands Balloon Invitational assemble a balloon basket at White Sands National Monument, N.M., Sept. 16. Balloonists came from Colorado, Arizona, Kansas, California, Texas and New Mexico. The two-day event took off from both the Balloon Park in Alamogordo, N.M., and the White Sands National Monument, and featured more than 50 balloons, a significant increase from the usual 35 that attend. The event committee obtained a permit for balloons to fly over the monument, as normally private aircraft are not allowed in the airspace. Members of Team Holloman volunteered to crew balloons at the event. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Daniel E. Liddicoet)
