Shapes
In the 1980s, numerous hot air balloon displays, known as "Special Shapes," emerged across Europe and North America, lasting for more than a decade. These balloons featured themed characters and objects, like a Flying Cow, a Frog, a Pig, or even a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
The Special Shape balloons were showcased in electrifying displays, creating an exhilarating atmosphere.
Crowds flocked from both large cities and small towns to admire the brightly coloured fabric shaped into unique forms with distinct personalities.
These impressive structures, soaring metres above the spectators, captured the imagination and delighted the crowds as they watched them glide majestically into the blue skies.
