About Me:: I live in the Miami area and am the owner of Tropical Ballooning Adventures where we provide balloon rides in the South Florida area.
I have been an airplane pilot for most of my life and four 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 Miami area, please give us a call !
Tom

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

I knew you looked familiar when I saw you this morning. What are you doing in Socal?

At 10:12am on July 21st, 2007, Brian Critelli said…: Well its ballooning. How many races have we both attended that we got weathered out. In this case it is just airspace restrictions. Very very tight. We are trying to decide if it is worth the chance however small to go over. Even Willie is say 20% chance of a flight per his son. If it as in the USA we would go without a problem and just take the chance. The cost of going just to take the chance is still about 6K each with what we have invested to go and what we will pay for rooms and expenses just to go to Brussels and sit in the hotel. Another 3K if we fly. So it is really a toss up righ now. We are hoping for better news that something has been worked out but it is not looking very positive anything will change at this point.

Talk to you soon.

Brian
