One of two Balloons from Arizona with the Arizona's Iconic Figure the Saguaro Cactus. I don't know who the owner is as it is not a special shape and not photographed on the web page for the Fiesta. I have seen them fly here in the Valley of the Sun/Phoenix area. There is a large gondola...so rides were being given in this balloon.

That's Arizona for you....bold colors....I just love this balloon....I see it or its sister ship from time to time out over the Valley giving rides. You can see it has a very large gondola (rectangular)instead of almost square. #10425292Robert R. Goodman December 25, 2012
