About This Vintage Postcard
Take a nostalgic flight back to the 1970s with this vibrant view of the Arizona State Flag hot air balloon. Known as the "Arizona Superstar," this five-story-tall marvel was a brilliant promotional tool for Perry Marshall Insurance, modeled precisely after the striking sunburst and star of the Arizona flag. The image captures pilot Wally Perry, a true Arizona adventurer and pioneer in local ballooning, as his crew skillfully guides the basket to skim the surface of a quiet desert river.
