It was a celebration in the skies Feb. 10 as the Philippine International Hot Air Balloon Festival kicked off in spectacular style.

Highlights of the annual event, now in its 16th year, include an aerobatic show, a sky diving exhibition and an aircraft balloon bursting competition. But most of the estimated 60,000 spectators come to the nation's biggest aviation event each year to see the beautiful hot air balloons, manned by more than 100 balloon pilots from around the world.
