This is an edited piece (approx 11mins) featuring Hot Air Balloon G-EEFA doing a Night Glow LIVE

Inflating and tethering 'Radiant', our Hot Air Balloon registered G-EEFA.

Just listen to the 'gasps' of the crowd as this colourful gentle giant of the skies is inflated and watch as she gently 'tips' vertical.  With thanks to Hotair.ie crew member 'David Morgan' for this excellent footage
