MYFOXNY.COM - The newest balloons for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade got a test flight on Saturday.
Diary of A Wimpy Kid and Kung Fu Panda were inflated and test flown at Macy's Balloonfest, an outdoor test flight of the parade's newest giant balloons. It is a chance for the balloons to be test flown in a real world outdoor setting.
It took place in a parking lot in the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, N.J.
The balloons are flown under the direction of a pilot and captain, a flight management team of 12 who lead a corps of hundreds of balloon handlers.
