VINCE GALET

Vince is an FAA-certified pilot trained in PA. He just loves to fly: "Best thing I ever did!". Vince is also our weather guy: he checks all forecasts thoroughly and will not fly if the winds are not good enough. Vince has a perfect safety record.

OUR DEDICATED CREW MEMBERS

A key component of the balloon team. The crew assists the pilot with the balloon preparation and checks, and follows the balloon during the flight.

Like Vince, our crew members are very passionate about ballooning and are encouraged to attend safety seminars for continuing education. Some are also pilots in training.

We have quite a few crew members and they vary with every flight but you are likely to meet these friendly faces:

CAIT Student Pilot	THERESA Nav/Com Expert	Michelle Ballooning enthusiast
CHERYL Balloon Photographer	KATHY Equipment Specialist	DINESH The Muscle

We have a fun and experienced crew. Great people. The crew helps with balloon setup and packing. They also drive the vehicle that follows the balloon.

Crewing is fun. It is also the best way to learn how to be a balloonist. We can always use more hands.

What is more fun than a hot air balloon? -> 2 (or 3) hot air balloons! This allows for even more scenic flights, photo ops, and camaraderie. This also enables larger parties to fly together.

We welcome multi-balloon flights sometimes - when requested by our guests or yours - or just for fun. The more the merrier!
