"Thanks. The name of the balloon is Last Gasp. The owner of the balloon is 78, going to be 79 in September. His wife said that this was his last balloon or Last Gasp. It was made in 1983 and only has 120 hours. We rebuilt it last fall."

- About Me:
- I started ballooning when I was about 4 years old. My first ever balloon flight was a tether ride in the old Ohio Balloon, which is a Semco. My first real balloon ride was in an old Adams pop-top, which is still flying. I currently fly my friend's Avain. We just fixed a pop-top into a parachute and we are flying that balloon. It was build in 1982.

- Balloon looks cool, I can't believe it only had a little above 100 hrs on it given its age!

- Shannon,
Praxis went really well. Wasn't as bad as I figured, Post OB was pretty long. Hey have you received anything from Ashland yet? I haven't and usually I remember last year we got info almost immediately within January.

- Hey Shannon,
Thats too bad about Ashland. They've really gone sorta down hill with that Festival over the last couple years. I remember going when they had 40 balloons flying. Anyway, yeah, I got current over my spring break. I was only able to fly once though. It was on a Thursday morning. I was planning on flying more that weekend but the winds in the afternoons were alway 12 kts till 9:00pm. I'm hoping to fly a couple more times between now and Coshocton, but right now the balloon is being annualled.
