My dad, John Thompson, was a balloonist in the first Freedom Weekend Aloft in Greenville, and for many years after. He recently told me a story about how he and his crew were filmed and had a scene in this film.
I grew up listening to his stories about ballooning, traveling and doing stunts, having crash landings, how he took my mom on a hot air balloon ride for their first date, and how much of an impact ballooning had on his life.
I've been searching for ways to find this film and haven't been able to come up with anything, but I'd love to be able to watch it with him since he's turning 70 this year. If anyone has information on this film, I'd love to know more about it.
