I've been flying balloons since 1978, and learned to fly in northern California, where I lived for 17 years. I now fly a regular balloon and a cloudhopper for fun, and sometimes fly commercially for a friend who has a ride business. I've also flown small airplanes since 1986 and own a share in a C-172. I am a software engineer by trade, and live in the beautiful Champlain Valley with my wife Lori, and daughter, Sammi.
I am putting a video together with all sorts of ballooning pics and video and I was wondering if I could use your pics/vids in it? It is all just for fun and would be posted here whenever it is done.

Hey David, nice shots of the hopper! I'm kickin' around the idea of building a homebuilt hopper too...got any advice? I'd love to hear any and all about it.

We got two flights in this year, and they were very, very nice. Box winds on the first flight allowed for three return flights to the launch site. Fun stuff!
