We will be taking the Aviation Ranch and American Balloons pages to private group pages. The ranch is being built for our friends, family and employees and we feel that Facebook is becoming an issue. If you wish to stay a member sort of speak of these 2 pages send me a message. Sunday we will delete all others.

Well after 25 years of service to the Pasco County area we are going to retire from the ride business. Countless passengers and amazing people we have met. Would like to say thanks to everyone who has helped along the way. Tom and Jessica will always continue to fly and will see everyone on there travels during the year.

What are the differences between LIFR, IFR, MVFR, and VFR and how you can use that knowledge to quickly steer clear of dangerous conditions?

Each year we struggle with the should we really go to Leon or should we stay home and work. Leon has such a special place in our heart and even though it is always such work and often frustrating to get there, it is amazing to see the joy on the kids faces and the families that stand in the streets to watch the balloons. The crew that we love so much and have become like family. What an adventure this trip has been. Until next year.

This morning we had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful landowner and lots of people from the city. They helped us burn off the fuel and we took lots of photos. More photos of Festival later, but these are the special ones to show those people of Leon how beautiful Los globos can be.

Well...frontal system combined with hurricanes is making for an interesting weather pattern here in Florida. Quick winds at tree tops with a combination of fog and slow rain. No flights....
