My First Air Chair flight

This morning I went for my first flight in an Air Chair.....I didn't think anything could top my flying experiences so far but this has gone straight to the top!

We had a perfect morning with light winds taking us straight past Petworth House/park and over the town square of Petworth.

It awesome to fly low over and drop right down into a pine forest, brushing past the tree tops, and the smell was amazing! Can't wait to go again!

(I don't know how to add pictures here so see my… Continue

Not sure why it's taken so long....

I've been lurking in the shadows and checking in on AM regularly but haven't made the leap to becoming a member. When I had to choose between cleaning the house or sigining up to Aunty Monkey, the task became so much easier....YAY! I love ballooning :)

Go Girl! Well done on getting your PPL. Looks like you'll have to get a basket with shorter uprights, though...

Congratulations!

Hi Nicola, You are quite right, that is one of the things that the pilots never do. Better to make sure that your crew understands that early in the relationship. Where and what are you flying at the moment? Ciao

Pocket money! Now that brings back memories from a long time ago. Sigh...
Shame you can't make it to Narromine, it'll be such fun. Paul can't make it either, he's got a balloon to fly in Melbourne, so it's just me and the all-girl crew camping out.
