Chuck just earned his private hot air balloon pilot certificate this past weekend after passing his oral exam and flight exam with a FAA pilot examiner. Chuck is now one of my “former students”. We are all very proud of his accomplishment and now he may be preparing to earn his commercial pilot certificate are start flying balloons for hire. For now, we are looking forward to flying with Chuck in South Park this coming weekend and have a great party at our “Umteenth Annual South Park End of Summer Flyout Fling and BBQ”.
