ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Pilots received the green flag for day six of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta and the Special Shapes Rodeo.

Unfortunately, the winds were too much for Special Shapes pilots to take off. Instead, they inflated for a display.

Some pilots did take off and fly Thursday.
