Looks like only 2 balloons left aloft. SUI 1 looks to have it won though. Will be very hard for FRA 1 or SUI 2 to pull off the win. FRA 1 still has a shot of over taking for second place. I just admire what each of those balloonists achieved in the…
I had been crewing for another pilot for 14 years. How ever he gave up ballooning. We went for two years with my dad helping to run the balloon festival in Plymouth Indiana, the same time the Blueberry Festival is on going. After only being able to crew two times during the year, during Blueberry and the next weekend at the popcorn festival in Valparaiso, my dad and I decided to get our licenses and thanks to the radio station our own balloon. I recently received my private pilots license in August 2008. I currently go to Manchester College, working for my teaching degree.
My grandparents and my mom and 2 uncles are Kunze's. Orginally from Germany. Moved to Canada in the late 60's. There aren't too many around. I was quite surprised to see someone with the name. Especially on a ballooning site.
