Patriots Jet Team offers Flights to Balloon Festival
Supporters
Northern California and the Central
Valley's only balloon festival has gotten even more exciting.
The Patriots Jet Team, the premier civilian-owned aerobatic jet
team, has agreed to perform fly-overs on both Saturday and Sunday
of the balloon festival and four Children's Hospital supporters
have been invited to join the flight.
The Patriots Jet Team announced that one seat on each of the
four L39 jets will be available for Sky High supporters of the 2010
Color the Skies Balloon Festival. This opportunity is
unique and a rare opportunity because the passenger will experience
close-formation flying.
The Patriots Jets team has electrified spectators with
fast-paced formation flying, choreographed four-jet diamond
aerobatic maneuvers. Their signature maneuver is the "Tail Slide"
where the aircraft actually slides backward toward the
ground. They are the only jet demonstration team that
performs this maneuver. The fully-tax-deductable price per seat is
$5,000.

The fourth annual Color the Skies Hot Air Balloon Festival will
be held Labor Day weekend September 4th & 5th in Ripon,
California and all proceeds of the festival go to Children's
Hospital Central California. Festival activities include a
pancake breakfast, a kite flying demonstration, a 1-mile and 5k
race, children's fun run, skydiving exhibitions, tri-tip lunch, and
more. Entry to the festival is free and there is a $5
donation for parking at the park.
Take the ride of your life and help Children's Hospital Central
California make this year's balloon festival a huge success.
