Hot-Air Balloon Landing in My Yard (1990)

On the morning of Sunday, December 2, 1990, a Remax hot-air balloon landed in my own backyard!

My dad immediately grabbed our RCA VHS camcorder and began filming the event. Almost 19 years later, I finally got around to uploading the video to YouTube (mainly because there was no such thing as YouTube in 1990).

The video shows the actual landing and the balloon deflating. You will also get to see me as a 1 year old. I had just turned one a few days prior to this.

By the way, I still live at this house, except those pine trees beside the road are MUCH bigger in 2009.

Hello, this is Billy Coore from Home of Carolina Circle Mall, Carolina Circle City, and Billy's Retail History Emporium.

I have created this blog as a way to help you relive your past, no matter what decade.

I will regularly be posting retro videos, commercials, old newspaper ads, old TV intros/outros, retro pictures, and a look back at my own past.

Let's see what happens here.
