Eureka Hot Air Balloon Presentations

Exploratory flight at the Mid-South Balloon Festival in Rossville, Tennessee to scout the territory.

Great job, Spooktacular! Congrats to my Brother Larry J Hughes, one of the best Balloonmeisters in the business! Sorry I missed this one but I'll see many of you you in Tennessee next week for the Mid-South festival!

Exciting news for Eureka and Azura!

Crewed for Fred Vereb this morning. Didn't get much for photos as they were low and out of our line of sight most of the time. The family of four were great to work with. A former Navy Pilot, his wonderful wife, a Daughter about to graduate from UF (Go, Gators!), and their Son. It was Mom's Birthday so they wanted to fulfill this wish! A very interesting flight path with a u-turn. That was by design. I got a screenshot of part of it. Fred's knowledge and skill always amazes me.

Part of being in the ballooning community includes crewing, chasing, taking photos, and hoping for some occasional time in the basket. Today was a 4-balloon morning in Wesley Chapel.

Azura does a night flight!

Welcoming "Azura" to the Eureka stable! This is another radio controlled system, just like her Brother "Eureka". She's about 25 feet tall and 3100 cubic feet. Azura can also carry a 6x12ft banner with your artwork. Looking for a unique "Something Blue"? Her colors are inspired by the sea and sky.
