HeeBeeGeeBees = Hot Bunch of Girl Balloonists > the all-girl team

Profile Information

City, Country:
Sydney, Australia
About Me:
I got bitten by the bug in 1999 and I have been a private pilot since 2002.
I've been competition crew ever since my very first encounter with balloons, and I have been flying as a competition pilot in my own right since 2007, with the one and only all-girl-crew: the HeeBeeGeeBees (Hot Bunch of Girl Balloonists).
Background photo, Inti Punku, Tiahuanacu, Bolivia.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: "WOW - what a ride!"

Hi guys,
Paul is now wishing he hadn't introduced me to AuntyMonkey, because he reckons I'll never get any work done now. Hee hee.
So Justin, when can I beat you at go-karting again?

I have watched some very educational documentarys about dykes in Holland. You just need a little boy to make sure they don't leak.

Thanks Maaike - your model is out of production but the equivalent looks like the Vista Cx or the Vista HCx for better reception. Great tip - thanks - want to have a go at a bit of geocaching as well!!
