Dean Baker recently purchased an iconic Lake Havasu City hot air balloon. The long lost ballon that was inflated during the 1971 dedication ceremony of the London Bridge. Forty-four years later, it is being inflated once again in Lake Havasu City, and this time, for the Phoenix NBC Channel 12 News Wednesday afternoon. Because of high winds, the balloon could only be partially inflated, but enough to see the glory of this historic Lake Havasu found treasure.
