“EYAHNE ON THE HORIZON” Hot Air Balloon
The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center’s new hot air balloon, Eyahne On The Horizon, took to the skies for its first appearance in the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta® in 2021.
In September 2020, the balloon made its maiden voyage in Albuquerque. Serving as a proud ambassador for the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center.
From the bottom of our hearts, many thanks to those near and far who came through our doors during the 2022 Balloon Fiesta® and Indigenous Peoples Day.
Eyahne means “blessings” in the Keres Native American language, and the unique balloon features a distinctive, Pueblo-inspired design that symbolizes the sacred beliefs and culture of the Pueblo peoples of New Mexico. IPCC’s balloon is a partnership with Rainbow Ryders, the Southwest’s premier hot air balloon company. In honor of the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico, Rainbow Ryders chose the N-Number “N19NM” when registering the aircraft with the FAA.
Eyahne On The Horizon was made in Ann Arbor, Michigan, by Cameron Balloons, the world’s largest balloon manufacturer. The balloon is 275,000 cubic feet in size, measures 86 feet tall, 68 feet wide at the equator, and is capable of lifting 6,000 pounds, or 12 to 14 passengers, plus the pilot. It is one of the largest ride balloons in New Mexico.
