About Me:: I am a commercial balloon pilot flying in Canberra, Australia. My first p/ut flight was in September 1991 and haven't missed a calender month yet (how anal is that ??). I have flown in 15 different countries and somehow ended up in Australia (for the past 10 years) although I do get to do some commercial work in England most (Northern) Summers.

At 9:36pm on April 27th, 2008, Chris Smith said…: Hi Rick

I'm sorry I didn't find the time to get down to Canberra while I was in Aus recently. Hope I haven't offended you by my non-appearance. The time just seemed to melt away and then I was packing to go home! If you're over here sometime during our summer lets meet for a drink or six.

Cheers

Chris
