More details about the Pepsi Can balloon
and the pilot: Patrick Fogue is the pilot that will
be flying the Pepsi can during this year's festival. He hails
from Columbia, Missouri, and was introduced to ballooning
when his father took the family to the Finals of the US Nationals
at the Iowa State Fair. Patrick began flying in 1974, and
in 1978, he took his first solo flight. According to Patrick,
his most interesting flights were in Wadi Rum (The Valley
of the Moon), Jordan and the Jungles of Malaysia and Jamaica.
He is proud to say that his balloon gets a lot of press attention
since it is "The World's Biggest Pepsi Can," hence
the name "Pepsi Supercan". Patrick's most memorable
Shawnee flight was when all of the balloons were landing near
the airstrip north east of the Inn over the mountain. He shares
that -it was pretty cool to have balloons, gliders and airplanes
all congregated in a tight proximity."
