Drew,
I do not have the lightweight fabric in my balloon it's all 1.9 oz. The top half with the silicon coating is not slick. It is his normal 1.9 oz rip stop nylon fabric with a silicon rather than a polyurethane coating. There is no real differe...
I saw the new TBW Maxflite up close at their booth at the RMBF a couple of years ago. It is beautiful and hardy in appearance and I REALLY like the way the colors are shaded however, it is all silicon coated. They claim it will not burn and they h...
Yes I remember the BQ-11 fiasco. You know a Cameron I flew went dangerously porous at the same low number of hours as some of the BQ-11 balloons but nobody made a big deal out of it like they did with Raven. The response was well you should have p...
Seriously Daniel. You have a picture of an Aerostar S-60 on your page so I assume that is what you fly. Aerostar Diamond Weave and its immediate predecessor square weave with the same coatings was 2.3 oz per sq. yd. Head uses 1.9 oz fabric. How ca...

Nice work again Andy!
Was a little short in duration (we never left the park) because of all the mud with the recent rains here.

- About Me:
- I grew up around ballooning in Plano, TX. I often roped my parents into taking me to chase the balloons as they flew over town. When I was ten I saved up money doing odd chores and bought a balloon ride. That was in 1981. Today, I am on my 3rd balloon and I still relish every chance I get to fly. I live near Dallas, TX with my wife Ann and our 5 year old son. Professionally, I am a pilot for Southwest Airlines but I really like going mach zero in my balloon.

Our Christmas Glow 2008
We did a Balloon Glow at Frisco Square which is home to the largest Christmas light display in Dallas / Ft. Worth. It was photographed by a professional photographer and the images really turned out really well. Here is a link:

- hey boss, good times in Texas...sorry we didn't get more boating time, but to be honest, I was kinda getting sick of you anyway.
thanks for being so hospitable and we'll see you again soon...most likely we'll be back next year, if not for Celina then probably something else.

- Lance, if you don't mind would you please send me a message with the pros and cons you have about your Head balloon? Obviously the price is a big seller. The main complaint I have heard from others were about the lower end, mostly the burner. I'm thinking of maybe doing an STC envelope over a different basket. Thanks.

- Ahh yes, I insisted on the pennents when we were designing the balloon. Thx for the compliment. Yours in very beautiful as well. I have admired it many times.
My husband flys a Citation 10. He is chief pilot. They have 3 Citation 10s. He just went on an interview in Boston to fly a Gulfstream 550 and possibly a Gulfstream 650 in the future. The sky is his life.
