  • Phillip and All,

    It was a pleasure to meet you guys at the Fiesta this year. I look forward to seeing you and Lady Joker again in the future, maybe back in Albuquerque or at another event maybe over in France… Take Care. Tom Ewart — Balloon Fiesta Official Photographer Bentonville, Arkansas

    Philippe. you are indeed a good friend. i hope that Capt. Don Palin reads this. Your balloon is the best new special shape in the fiesta. it is very funny looking, but enjoyable to see in the skies of Albuquerque. Please come back to albuquerque and if you need a local crew person plese let me know ahead of time. Thanks for the baloloon pin. I also would like to get one of those funny hats. Tell Annette that i say bon jour and that maybe she can come back to Albq. some time.

  • Dave Grant:

    Congratulations on the flight and on your English, Philippe. Now you’re an American TV star, you’ll need lots more English lessons!

    Dave
