40 years ago today my sister Andrea Mobley and Bill Oliver arranged for my first balloon ride and lesson. Who would have know that it would lead to over 4,000 hours flying hot air balloons across the United States. Thank you Andrea ans Bill.

This week also celebrates my 27 Albequerque International Balloon Fiesta, 25 consecutive years.

Today was a great flight with great passengers and a wonderful way to celebrate my birthday. Thanks for all the birthday wishes.

A few pictures of are flight are attached. Why we didn’t have clear blue skies we did have a great sunrise, the pictures are stunning.

I look forward to many more years flying balloons.
