Dear Aunty Monkey members,Nearly 20 years ago, a group of young Australian balloonists gave birth to the first carnation of Aunty Monkey. It started with an 8 page newsletter, full of typos and photocopied in the middle of the night at my Dad’s work. Since then, Aunty Monkey has had many guises, but none of them ever came close…See More

- I am an Australian based pilot. I have been ballooning for 30 years, having started at 4 years of age when my parents got into it. Having tried most aspects of the sport over the years (private, commercial, instructing, competing etc.) my true passion these days is competition flying.
In my real life I work as an implementation consultant for a web analytics company, Omniture.

Support Aunty Monkey - Buy Merchandise!
You may have noticed there is now a "Merchandise" menu item on the site. Well you can now buy Aunty Monkey merchandise on the site and all proceeds go directly to the hosting of Aunty Monkey site.A few months Ning announced that they were going to start charging for the hosting of sites like Aunty Monkey. When this was announced I started a discussion… Continue

Play nice or I am turning the site off!
What is going on? All of a sudden there are all sorts of people bagging each other out (in a non-sarcastic, non-smiley face way) on the site.
I can't spend all day answering complaint emails about one person said this or another person said that. I am currently spending most my day getting rid of spammers, so I don't have time to read every post and moderate what everyone is saying.
Seriously.... if people don't start playing nice on the site I will turn it off.

Inappropriate use of Aunty Monkey
Just a general note to everyone...Please do not use this site to publicly disgrace anyone or any company. I don't care if the reason is right or wrong, if you do it I will ban you. I am all for discussions about safety etc., but posting examples of other people or company's techniques and naming them is not the right way to do it.
Also, if you are going to sign up to Aunty Monkey, please use your own name. Don't sign up as an organisation or company name. Again,… Continue

A Note to New Members
Just a quick request to new members. Please upload some sort of profile photo and add a description (at least a sentence or two) about your involvement in ballooning. We are getting a lot of spamming people joining the site and it is sometimes difficult to tell who is legit and who is a fake person. I have already accidentally suspended a real person once, so I don't want to accidentally do it again.
Thanks!
Thanks!
