- About Me:
- My wife and I got into this wonderful sport 2 years ago and jumped in with both feet. I was trained by a couple of wonderful pilots who allowed me to develop my piloting skills gradually. Combining their experience into my own I was able to attain my Private Certification on 7/12/07, my 41st birthday.
Since then we have flown many flights with friends, family, co workers and crew. We do this strictly as a hobby and love blowing our money on it along with my childrens small inheritance....
I fly with a great group of guys and gals who are involved with the group known as the Black Sheep Squadron. We all take care of each other and do as one. We love to see anyone who chases us where we fly and especially enjoy having the children get a close look at the balloons. We allow them to get in with us so their parents can take pictures and always get them involved when we take the balloons down.
We will be seen throughout the North East and Canada at various balloons festivals and do our own Black Sheep Flyoff during the week of the Adirondack Balloon Festival. Eventually the organizers of that event will allow our group to fly in our local festival but until then we will continue to do our own thing that particular weekend.
We love meeting all of you when we get the opportunity at any rally so please do not be shy and say hi.
Soft Landings!

Flying the Cambridge Valley During Ice Breaker 2009
Our balloon and team were invited to participate in the Annual Ice Breaker Festival which takes place the first couple weeks in February in a couple of small eastern Washington County hamlets in New York. The event is co sponsored by the Rice Mansion B&B in Cambridge and they put together the ballooning part of the Festival as well as put on a very nice after flight breakfast for the balloon crews.
This was our first year to be a part of the flying aspect as we crewed for a team 2 years ago.… Continue
