Adventure Flights/Bulletins
Bonaventura Balloon Company at Mt. Pinatubo, PhilippinesDraped with the American and Philippino flags, the flight was photographed by the Philippine Air Force and the Department of Tourism. Navigating to the volcano through a double mountain range was a challenge, and navigating to an accessible landing area before reaching the South China Sea was another. A perfect stand-up landing next to a beautiful lagoon revealed that the village seen from the air was occupied by friendly, curious pygmy natives of the Aeta tribe. They respectfully laid down bows and arrows a few hundred feet away and spent an 8-hour day playing games and singing, swimming and napping until the chase crew arrived. A surreal, magical priceless day in the life - a balloonist's life!
