City, Country:: Queensbury, NY

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 REFUSE TO PLAY ANY GAMES OR DIS-RESPECT ANY OTHER PILOTS. However we do 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!!!)

All the pilots, crews, and office personal on those little ATVS trying to see who was a badest. Them younger snivellin bed wettin crew guys got some learnin that day from us older, more worldly, more experienced guys. Yaaa! we kicked the snot out of them. !! LOL.
