Ballooning 2001
Living in Indianola, Iowa, seeing a hot air balloon is a certainty, as sport ballooning is a key component of Indianola's identity. What's funny is that no matter how many years I've lived in Indy surrounded by ballooning, seeing them in flight still holds a certain wonder.
In Summer 2001, I crewed with a balloon for the first time. My thanks go out to the Dvoraks and the Bertschs for showing me the ropes, as well as to Richard Schick of the balloon Pup's Delight.
