Been having a terrific time at #BalloonFiesta in #Abq. So glad my crew was there to catch me during this high speed landing! That was an intense situation that worked out safely thanks to all involved. Amazing!

You actually don’t need to sign anything online to show up to a rally. In fact, don’t you wonder where your name is going when you put it on those things saying that you’re going to attend a rally? You should!
