Being part of a balloon crew is more than just following the balloon in a car.

You help the pilot with pre-flight, lay out, inflation, finding suitable landing spots,  deflation and packing up the balloon.

You are the eyes, ears and nose for the pilot. You act as a liaison with passengers and landowners. You work efficiently solo and as part of a team to insure a successful flight. You are an extra level of safety to the pilot, passengers, spectators and others. You belong to a small but passionate community of balloonists and crew!

Without crew balloon pilots would not be able to fly! Crew members are critical to safe and fun ballooning!
