THANKS SID! We miss your guidance,,your wisdom and your humor. Ballooning wouldn't be what it is without you. With unending love and gratitude. You'll never be forgotten😊❤

As much as I look forward to Balloon Fiesta and flying each and every year, it's the friends I get to see and rekindle old friendships from around the world. Balloonists are truly family. Most of these people featured have been long friends for many decades. Everyone is spécial, but the sad part were the segments featuring Sid Cutter. A great friend, mentor to all, and the first one I went to for advice. He was always there with his smile, humor and wisdom. I will forever miss Sid. I haven't flown in Fiesta in several years and left New Mexico for 15 years ago. I look forward to returning and catching up with my many much older friends! To all Balloonists, I wish you soft landings and clear skies. Hugs to all!❤
