Brian Carlson recently found this postcard in Manhattan. From what I can tell the photo was taken with a heck of a telephoto lens from atop Burnett's Mound during Huff 'n Puff 1984 - 24 years ago! Good find Brian!

This advertisement for Kansas Heritage Photography was spotted on Kansas Avenue in Downtown Topeka. The couple in the photo on the left are friends of the photographer and the photo of GPBC balloon Hocus Pocus was taken near 49th and Burlingame on the Saturday morning flight of Huff 'n Puff 2007.
This billboard was spotted from the south bound lane of I-470 near Cracker Barrel.
The sign changes every few seconds so you might have to wait a while to see it. The photo is from Huff 'n Puff several years ago and shows Firehawk, Carpet Plus, Big Top, and Tweety.
