Few pictures on a ballooning board show a corporate sponsor sharing the field with the balloons, but this one does: an inflatable United Van Lines truck stands beside the hot air balloons. Sponsors often brought oversized inflatable replicas of their products to rallies and launch fields, where they drew crowds and made a memorable backdrop for photographs. United Van Lines is a long-running American moving company, and its playful inflatable van captures how commercial the sport became as it grew in popularity.
