2007 Pittsfield, NH Hot Air Balloon Festival & Rally : 2007 Pittsfield, New Hampshire Hot Air Balloon Rally Festival.  Helicopter rides, tethered balloon rides, mass ascension, balloon liftoff.  We took a helicopter ride from JBI in N800JB Bell Jet Ranger 206B.  Our pilot Leo was great and gave us a great tour of the surrounding area.  The Friday evening launch was limited to one balloon, Irish Rover.  The Saturday mass ascension went off without a hitch but there was not much wind.  Irish Rover was the only balloon to lift off on Saturday evening and we were not in Pittsfield for the Sunday mass ascension.  I'd like to thank the Pittsfield Rotary club for a great job on the balloon festival and JBI for a great ride.  http://www.jbihelicopters.com/
