- About Me:
- I now fly with the friendly folks at Asheville Hot Air Ballooning in North Carolina !
I have been an airplane pilot for most of my life and Five years ago became "hooked" on ballooning. What I like especially about ballooning are the friendships that I have made within the ballooning community.
I am also an aspiring Gas Balloon pilot after making flights in Germany with Wilhelm Eihmers.
My real job is an airline pilot currently flying the A320 throughtout NorthAmerica , Canada , Mexico and some Carribean.
I have a wife from Holland, (Liesbeth)and three kids who I am trying to get to become crew. Any motovational Tips?
Whenever you are down here in the Asheville area, please give us a call !

- Ok big M,
Did you die or fall off the end of the earth. I called you a few times, but alas no answer. So I guess you are otherwise very busy or just ignoring me. I had a great winter flying in /fL. But due to wx and lack of crew and being very busy I have not flown since returning to Mi. Geiger must be real happy. I've only seen him up twice so far this summer. Give a hollar when you can, love to hear from you, say hi to Dave for Me. Maybe you two could fly up here for a weekend or something?? Randy

- How are you doing sir? Hope you have been busy enjoying your new adventures in ballooning. I'm still just trying to get off the ground, but I'll get up there soon. Have a great safe and fun year and I'm sure we'll catch up soon. Happy New Year my friend!

Thanks for the compliment! I'm going to bust my ass and try to get it finished before the BFA convention so I can show it off and hopefully sell a few. We're planning a Ballooning Film Festival at the Convention in case you haven't heard the chatter on the reflector.
I don't have any immediate plans to license portions of the film for display elsewhere, but I've got dozens of hours of footage and can probably hook you up with some other good stuff that won't make it onto the DVD. Or you can fly me down there and I'll gladly produce a promo video with your own balloons and crew! :)
See ya soon,
Jon
