Well, it looks like I missed both the Green River and Look Park Festivals this year, so no new photos of Firehawk. In fact, I drove out to Look Park this morning, thinking Friday's postponement would make some flights for Sunday, but there was only the fog. Oh well, next season - unless you'll be at Adirondack?
Don started in ballooning as a crew member for local balloon pilots. This sparked a desire to pilot his own balloon and he went on to obtain his commercial pilot certificate. He has flown through out New England, and in 2006 Don participated as a member of the American team competing in the 36th Irish Ballooning Championships in Athlone, Ireland. In 2007 Don started Misty River Ballooning located in Florence, MA.
Firehawk is a Balloon Works AX-7 and can bee seen flying in the Pioneer Valley & foothills of the Berkshires.
