It's approaching that time once again for the Thunderbird Balloon classic! http://www.thunderbirdballoonandairclassic.com/
Oct 20 thru 22nd at Goodyear Airport. Ever see 100+ balloons lift off all at once?
After the balloons land there will be lots of aerobatic, warbird and jet fighter goodness, topped off with a performance by the Blue Angels afterwards. Since 10/22 is my birthday, that's the day I plan to go - I can't think of a better present for myself!
