7:03am - Military A-10 Thunderbolt (Warthog) Fly ByTwo A-10 Warthogs from Gowen Field will over fly the Park on cue at a specific moment during a musical salute to America. The jets and pilots are from the 190th Fighter Squadron based at Gowen Field here in Boise.

7:05am - Tribute Launch to local businessman, Ernie Carr
Ernie Carr, founder of RE/MAX of Boise was the very first person to agree to sponsor the Ann Morrison Park based Boise River Festival balloon rally. He was a friend of ballooning and was responsible for giving Scott Spencer his start in Corporate Ballooning.

This special launch has become a traditional “salute” and “good-bye” to lost friends of the Boise and Northwest ballooning community.

V.I.P. Day is the day that we honor those who make the Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic possible with their financial support by taking them aloft with us for a flight. Expect to see all 40 balloons at this launch.
