    This year’s balloon launch (weather permitting) is scheduled for 6 a.m. on Saturday, July 30 at ultralight runway.
    Balloon tether operations will take place daily in the morning and evening, as weather permits, in front of the Fun Fly Zone Ultralight Red barn.
    Here are some ultralight webcam - screen shots from the AV 13. (check time stamp on bottom of screenshot)
    I think they also just light them up (no launch) at show center after the afternoon airshow at dusk.
    Don't know what days though.
