Crown of Maine Balloon Fest
Aroostook County is steeped in ballooning history. In 1978, the Double Eagle II launched from Presque Isle and made the first successful crossing of the Atlantic. In 1984, Joe Kittinger became the first person to make the solo Transatlantic balloon journey, launching from Caribou. In 2013, Jonathan Trappe launched his attempted transatlantic balloon flight using 365 individual helium balloons and established a world record for distance when he landed in Newfoundland.
