The Bueno Chile is piloted by Michael Shrum.
Hanging a Chili Ristra brings luck and is a common practice here in the southwest. This is what a chili ristra looks like and I think the balloon is an awesome likeness!

James, Yes it is real and I agree, it is incredible. I tried to leave a comment on your blog but because I do not use Blogger it will not let me! However, I love the composition of today’s photo! Hope you see this! Helen

2006-10-18 15:21It’s a very odd baloon!
I’ve always been a little annoyed by the similarity between the name of the vegetable and my country!!!
But I love both… Cool picture!
Greetings from Chile
