Building and Flying Hot Air Balloons for a Living! An Aviation Career Beyond Your Wildest Imagination!

All Things Aviation & Aerospace

In the age of supersonic technology and deep space exploration development, the simplicity and joy of hot air ballooning is a very attractive alternative to the fast and furious pace of the 'Jetsons' age.
That said, other than most of us seeing the fascinating lighter-than-air 'aircraft' at a hot air balloon festival or one off occasions, even longtime pilots know little about the industry and what all is involved in flying in a gondola pumping hot air into a 100,000+ cubic foot balloon.
Meet Tarp, the owner of Head Balloons, a Commercial Lighter-than-Air pilot, and an FAA Designated Airworthiness Representative; Mitch Loiselle, also a Commercially rated Lighter-than-Air pilot; and his son, James Loiselle a hot air balloon student pilot. It may be one of the most unique and interesting flying conversations you'll ever experience.
