The Black Sheep Rally is still going; we decided we are going to do the same as last year; keeping it small and filled with great pilots who enjoy the art of flying without all the pressures!
Fly if you would like or jump in the basket with someone…
The Rocky Mountain Balloon Festival in Denver, CO has been cancelled for 2009. However, it's a bit different...the organizers are losing their own money running the event, so they have decided to stop organizing (which is completely understandable).…
My name is Adam and I have been involved with balloons since I was 10. There is nothing I would rather be doing than flying my balloon. I currently fly a 77,500 cubic foot National. It has been very reliable and I would recommend one to anyone who wants a reasonably priced balloon that will last a long time. I like to meet new people and hope to see many of you at some races in the future.
Hi Adam. I believe the organization did look into someone in the midwest that had a handicapped accessable basket. The $$$ was way out of their budget. With the help of their counselors and a near perfect night we were able to transfer the kids from their chairs, to a platform the height of our basket and then into a chair that is used in showers. It went really really well.
Mexico was ok. It was very expensive but for the most part I had a good time. I'm just glad to be back. Flying isnt the greatest there but the hospitality is Great. I'm ready to do some more flying here. How have you guys been?
I have an 8 of clubs and a 3 of spades!!! No balloon cards was going to have them made this spring but where I was getting them done fell thru....... BB
Thank you very much Adam. Since I fly full time rides here in Florida I dont get out to do many races but when I do, as I like to say, I only have one place in mind. Mom and Dad were quite happy to hear I will be in the Nationals next year. Sure hope dad gets in.

Oh yeah that was me in The Edge. I really liked flying it, it was little and responsive. Too bad we missed the runway Sat. night, but I got a couple pictures of you from above
