I also love to go scuba diving with my husband! We have seen so many neat creatures, big and small, under water!
Why did you become a pilot?
I became a pilot because I was having so much fun crewing and being around all of my ballooning family. I decided it would be fun to learn how to fly the balloon, too!
What do you find is the most challenging about flying a hot air balloon?
The most challenging part is planning flights. The weather is always changing, and it plays a big part in the safety of our flight. Sometimes we have to make last minute decisions to cancel a flight.
Short description of something interesting that ballooning has allowed you to do?
Ballooning has allowed me to travel to new places and make lifelong friends.
What do you most want the public to know/understand about hot air balloons and flying them?
Flying in a balloon is so peaceful. We float along in the wind currents, going whichever way the winds take us. Very rarely do we land in the same place twice.
