How many years have you been a balloon pilot?
18 years (Started flying in1993)
Interesting tidbits:
Soc got involved with ballooning as an “Observer” in the mid 80’s at the Coshocton Balloon Race. He got hooked
on flying 10 minutes into his first balloon ride – he is
proof of an old cliché among balloonists that your first
ride is usually free and your second ride usually costs you
thousands of dollars because you’ve bought a balloon of
your own.
“Thriller” is the Gentle Breeze Balloon Co’s “racer” type
balloon. Flying it is an absolute thrill.
Soc’s favorite thing about ballooning is the friendships
that it fosters, both among the pilots and crews and with
people in the communities we get invited to visit.
