A civilian hot air balloon called Rainbow Ryders landed near the air traffic control tower at Kirtland Air Force Base, N.M., on Oct. 28, 2004. The balloon was immediately met by members of TEAM KIRTLAND volunteer chase crew who ensured that the scene was secured and the balloonists were safe until their own chase crew could get there. Balloonists are not allowed to land on Kirtland AFB except in emergency situations or due to safety of flight reasons. (USAF PHOTO by Bruce Kendall, CIV) (Released)
