”We are in Albuquerque for the 9 days of the festival….Albuquerque is the Super Bowl of ballooning and a great place to fly.”
The brothers’ special shape balloon business is called Monahan Airways.

Todd said, “We get to travel the world & build relationships with people all over the world. We are lucky to travel & reach these stages! The shapes have been flown in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Philippines, & we just completed a make a wish in Switzerland.”

Does Todd have a favorite balloon? “I love them all!!” he said.

“The kids & crowds love the character balloons. Crowd favorites are the Allycorn the Unicorn & TICO the Sloth.”
