MAJESTIC BALLOON FLIGHTS

- About Me:
- We got started (just like every other pilot in this area) in ballooning because of the Adirondack Balloon Festival. we attended as children and now as adults we are participants. The Pilot, Rob got his commercial license in 1997, I (as his girlfriend) got dragged along on every flight and started to enjoy ballooning and the people we met. I didn't so much enjoy the mornings, but i got used to them.
Our crew consists very dedicated family and freinds and a few amazing kids (aka nik and bailey). We enjoy going to different festivals and love the times we spend with our "ballooning Family". We enjoy what we do, and couldn't imagine a life without ballooning. We appreciate the fact that we are able to fly and that there are kids that look up to us as balloonists, so we try to set a good example. We take the time to talk them and answer their questions. After all they may be the next pilots in the area!!
For us ballooning is about so much more than the party afterwards , it's about so much more, it's about the flight. It's about our extended balloon family and the time we get to spend with them.
For me personally it's about the time i spend with my family and friends. We would not have been where we are today with out them. They are the BEST crew in this area, no doubt!!! ( that does include our sister balloon Family affair!!! and the Happy camper

Thanks for the reply. I was flying above the fog with you folks. I'm looking for some photos of my balloon, above the fog. Do you have any or know of someone that may have taken photos of my balloon above the fog i.e. balloon to balloon photos.

How's it going? Do you have any photos from the Saturday morning flight at Adirondack Balloon Festival?
