Amongst the 200+ hot-air balloons at the 36th Annual International Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, New Mexico was this Belgian-designed Darth Vader balloon. These Star Wars fans created a hot air balloon in the shape of Darth Vader’s head. A truly imposing sight, the balloon measures 26 meters (86 feet) high and 21 meters (69 feet) wide. It has a hot air volume of approx 3.000 m³ (106,000 cubic feet) and weighs around 320 kilos (705 lbs).
This fest had some more crafted hot air balloons, one of them was the beer mug, tempting one though, but the show gripper was none other than this head armor, made by Benoît Lambert.
Here is the video after the jump.
