🎈 Meet One of Our Pilots   Greg Lindsey flying Floating Awaysis Commercial Pilot📍 Safford, AZ6th year with us105,000 ft³Adams 🎈 The Pilot Greg and his wife Susan are both commercial hot air balloon pilots who enjoy flying side-by-side as a husband and wife team. Greg, also a fixed-wing pilot, became a hot air balloon pilot in 2016 to help fulfill a dream of his wife's. Though not entirely thrilled about ballooning at first, it didn't take long for Greg to become passionate about the sport. Greg now loves pleasing the crowds at rallies and flies on the Dawn Patrol team in the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, in the Great Reno Balloon Race, and in Boise, Idaho. The couple opened AZ Air Ventures as a small ride company so they could share the joy of ballooning with people in the Gila Valley. Four years ago they expanded their efforts by starting the Gila Valley New Year's Balloon Extravaganza, a non-profit organization with the goal of bringing tourism to the Gila Valley and offering a family-friendly way to celebrate New Year's.☁ The Balloon Colors of the southwest adorn the top and bottom thirds of the envelope including yellow, red, orange, purple, and light and dark blues. These vibrant colors frame a bright yellow equator where eight silhouetted flying and swimming ducks rest on light blue panels on every other gore.
