Fly Every Month 2024 - Done ✅

Despite the misty drizzle we managed to get our December flight in the book this morning to ensure that we've flown at least once a month this year!

It's a bit too wet and windy for a balloon flight this weekend so we decided to go for a virtual trip on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 instead.

A quick flight in our local park this morning after a test inflation of something new ahead of our next event 👀

Getting the November flight done this morning in our local park and a good opportunity to test our equipment ahead of our final planned event of the year next Sunday.

A lovely flight this morning with perfect conditions in our local park - so perfect in fact that we could box back to where we took off from twice!

October flight ✅

7 fantastic flights at @Longleat Icons of the Sky 2024. One of our highlights would be participating in the Saturday evening Model Balloon Nightglow with 14 other model balloons.

It’s a wrap – as we say goodnight to Icons of the Sky 2024, here’s a special look at the nightglow and the fireworks in all their glory. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of it!

[Amarelo Balloon Team @AmareloBalloon]

3 more flights for us at @Longleat yesterday including the UFO at the after-the-nightglow nightglow. With 15 balloons taking part we believe it may be a UK record which may be broken next week... 🛸

Hello from @Longleat. This weekend we are displaying at the Icons of the Sky event and after 2 great flights this morning we glowed our UFO special shape after the main nightglow this evening 🛸

2 days of flying fun for us. Yesterday we headed to Oldbury-on-Severn to display a selection of our balloons at the Charity duck race and this morning we flew Purple and Lime outside Ashton Court mansion house with a few friends.

[Bristol International Balloon Fiesta @bristolballoon]

This time last week, we were gearing up for our first Nightglow, in partnership with @Airbus after a day of challenging ballooning weather 🎈💨

Before we dive into planning for 2025, we just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who made this event unforgettable 👏🏽💫

[Amarelo Balloon Team @AmareloBalloon]

It may have been a bit too gusty this evening but we did manage to make our 4th flight of the weekend this morning. #bristolballoonfiesta

[Amarelo Balloon Team @AmareloBalloon]

And that's it for another @bristolballoon. It was too windy to fly this afternoon so we attended another meet the pilots session with our basket.

Many thanks to those who made the weekend possible. We'll be back next year! #bristolballoonfiesta

[Amarelo Balloon Team @AmareloBalloon]

What an evening! 16 model balloons inflated this evening which we believe is the largest number of model balloons at @bristolballoon ever! #BristolBalloonFiesta

[Amarelo Balloon Team @AmareloBalloon]

Another breezy flight at @bristolballoon this morning. We were the guinea pig this morning - the first ones to inflate 🐹 #bristolballoonfiesta

[Amarelo Balloon Team @AmareloBalloon]

After a breezy first day at the @bristolballoon 2024 the wind dropped and we managed to get a flight in! #BristolBalloonFiesta

[Amarelo Balloon Team @AmareloBalloon]

Hello from the @bristolballoon 2024. We've just finished a demonstration of our basket with members of the public. #BristolBalloonFiesta

[Bristol International Balloon Fiesta @bristolballoon]

And just like that, it’s starting to look like a Fiesta is coming to town!

Before we open our gates at 5am tomorrow morning (Friday), a few key things to note:

🎊This years event runs Friday 9 - Sunday 11 August

Ahead of @BristolBalloon 2024 which begins tomorrow our final #BristolBalloonFiesta throwback takes us back 25 years to 1999. Special shapes from this year included the BBC Globe, Bic Chick, Tesco trolley, RAC van and the amazing Festo upside down balloon.
