Ah my favourite Japanese couple, so good that they finally have their own balloon, and an EX-65, no holding back then. Tell Yosh I'll still race him anytime ;-)
Classic...LOL
Gretta & Dave....this is Kris on Justin's page....doesn't look like we will get there this weekend after all....have a great weekend....Ciao
Count down to the long weekend is on. Bring on the frosty still mornings.
Ballosophy, I like it...We need some balloon shaped fortune cookies for the next event.
What goes up must come down! But for a pilot flying above another balloon, what goes up, must go up!
Powerlines ionize the air that immediately surrounds them,…

- About Me:
- I remember going for my first balloon flight with John Wallington in 1988, it was in Canberra on a perfect autumn morning. My Dad (Ewan) and I fly in competitions together and have been to a variety of events over the years including several Nationals and several events in Saga, Japan.
I passed my check flight on 1st March 2009.
Social ballooning is great but I'm competitive by nature and hope to have a crack at the Australian National Ballooning Championship in coming years.
Apologies in advance, I don't have any balloon pins or cards.
Work: IT - System Analyst
Play: I’m a Bike Boy from way back, BMX , MTB and Moto-x. Otherwise if there's good food & wine, I'm there.

Gretta Menzies and I have organised to travel to Temora for the long weekend. We are both taking a balloon each and would like to open the invite to anyone else who might be looking to do some flying that weekend (about 3 weeks away).
There is a 'powered' camping ground at the aerodrome and a variety of accommodation available in and around the town. I have spoken to the local council and they are happy to have us in town at the same time as the Museum Flying Weekend We also have some ovals lin… Continue

- Yes, That was a good morning.
Im quite proud of it the balloon too. Not bad for a Kav stock envelope bought of the shelf. I get quite a few comments about the balloon. Almost 2 years ago in late July now since we bought it.

- Gday DAve,
I'll be at the Lake. I observed for you & your dad at the nationals last year and enjoyed the 1 km stroll in the wet to find the marker in a cow paddock.
