The non club with a BIG NAME. Sitting on the White Sands Balloon Invitational Committee are three pilots and lots of dedicated crew. Stop the presses. News Alert! As of the middle of 2002 we have an additional pilot Dean Donley and he has a pilot in training (Student Pilot) Terry Yarborough. Terry bought Dean's balloon so I'll picture it here and when Dean gets his new balloon I'll add it. Wow, we're up to five balloons in town. For six years the committee consisted of one pilot and lots of dedicated crew. Several of this committee are members of the BFA, AAAA, and the GMVAAA. Below it is probably fitting to place pictures of our balloons and to have pictures of our dedicated crew performing their tasks.
