How great it is to have a club page with our member balloons on it. Most of our members are crew (of course), after all the balloons don't fly without crew.
(Left)Pat Raub's "Chamisa Gold" with homebase in Alamogordo, NM. (Right)"HSSS Too" Owner Jim Hoidahl. HSSS is an acronym for Heavens Soaring Sailing Skimming. Jim's wife has a reptile collection named HSSS (Herpetology Simplified Science Shows), thus the "Too" (also). Okay, okay, Jim thought it was clever.
(Left) Rainbow's Amigo owned by Mary Jo Drake pilot Terry Drake. (Right) Terry Drake's Renegade Rainbow.
(Left) "Cool Beans!" owned by Jeanne Gartner. No rocket science in the naming of this one. Everyone who knows Jeanne knows she is cool and we also know her by her nickname Bean. I guess you are what you fly.(Center)"Moonrose" Owned and Piloted by Marta Pritchard. Moonrose is a lyric from a song (All my life's a circle). Moonrose is dedicated to Marta's sister Kara who realized her dream to free float in the sky but died long before her time. (Right)Orbin Stone's Southern Angel. Orbie gathered a very large crew when he "got hooked" on ballooning. He called the crew the "Southern Crew". Being a proud owner of an Adams Balloon his fellow Adams Family club members invoked the rule of "Angel" appearing in the balloon name thus came "Southern Angel".
