Fresh Air Participates in the Longleat Icons of the Sky Festival 2024

The Fresh Air ballooning team spent the weekend at the Icons of the Sky festival at Longleat House – which featured three days of flying spectaculars and balloon launches including flyovers by the Spitfire, high energy aerobatics, wing walkers and a pyrotechnic display. The event marked 75 years of Longleat being open to the public.

Over 100 balloons took to the sky, including an elephant, a UFO and a parrot, Fresh Air’s new and old balloon floating hight in the sky.

Two “mass ascents” were scheduled each day for morning and evening, with a third lit-up balloon ascent in the dark set to music from the eight decades of Longleat’s history of being open.

So much fun, laughter, and epic views. We can’t wait for next year!
