- About Me:
- I'm a student at Indiana State University studying Professional Aviation Flight Technology and Aerospace Administration. I just start a Balloon group Fall of 2007, HABISU. It has gone over very well, with over 20 members. The second largest in the department so far. I grew up in South Bend, IN and later moved 2 towns over to a little place called Osceola, IN. I've been involved with ballooning since I've been born. My Grandparents crew for a guy named Rocky Papendria (spelling) who owned a buisness Fire Dragon Balloons. He retired from the buisness when I was 12 and I did not pick up on ballooning until I met my good Friends Paul Quandee and Harry Goertz. I chased Paul's 1st Cherry Bomb Balloon down on my bicycle when I was 16. The next week he called me up on my birthday and I got my first balloon flight. 5 years later I now have my own balloon that I absolutly Love and fly. I'm currently have my Commercial airplane S/E Land License as well as seaplane, tailwheel, aerobatic, instrument, and private LTA balloon. I'm currently pursuing my CFI, CFII, and Multi Engine rating, I only have 2 hours to go to obtain my commercial balloon as well. I have 260 hours in the airplane and 75 hours at this time in the balloon as of this January '09, and am inspired to continue flying! Thanks for reading my flight history, hope it was interesting!
