Hot Air Ballooning

and other fun stuff...

 

A portfolio of hot air balloon pictures. I have been hot air ballooning since the early 1970s. I wish I could find my log book!. Pictures are listed most recent first.

Please pardon the appearance during modification. I am making many changes behind that make maintaining this site easier for me. Please check often.

The most recent balloon flight for which I crewed was on Friday evening, August 1, 2008.

Lift off was from Buck's Airport in Bridgeton and landing was off Morton Avenue in Vineland. Please check back to see the pictures taken of this flight.

Tuesday or Wednesday evening...promise.

I have a patent on a hot air balloon shaped like a double-decker hamburger. I had to get a patent before MacDonald's would talk to me.
