We’re looking to hire an artist to decorate the spool ends of some equipment we use for balloon retrievals. It could be something funny like a Price Is Right themed wheel or something artsy. We’re not really sure - we just want to make it a little more fun to look at. If you think you’re the person for this or know who might be, please reach out.

When you’re about to fly over one of the most notorious landmarks 🖕🏼 in Vermont on approach to land, you ask your ground crew to document the moment. Our very own captured this beauty of an image and we think it’s hysterically funny 😂. Maybe it was the humidity, maybe it’s just that we enjoy
