The mural on this truck belongs to the Schoo-Fly Hot Air Balloon Team of Versailles, Kentucky, and it turns a working vehicle into a moving emblem for the crew. Balloon teams hauled their envelopes, baskets, and burners from one launch field to the next, often traveling to rallies and competitions, so a painted truck let spectators recognize the team before it ever unrolled a balloon. Modern hot air ballooning grew into a popular sport from the 1960s onward, and team vehicles like this one became part of its traveling culture.
