Welcome to the Home Page of the Flying Colours Balloon Team!

Interested in being part of the balloon crew? Join the Flying Colours Balloon Team!

Be a part of it all!  From the set-up and launch, to the chase, the landing, and the social events - we invite you to join us for some great adventures!  Most of our flying is in central Ohio and New Mexico, but we have team members from across the United States.  We are always looking for new friends to join the team!

Crewing is a fantastic opportunity to meet some great people and share in an experience few people ever have the opportunity to be a part of!  You will discover ballooning first-hand, and be an integral part of the team.  No experience is necessary - we will provide the training - you'll just need enthusiasm, be ready to get up before dawn on an occasional weekend morning, be ready to help inflate, launch, chase, and pack up the balloon, and enjoy some early morning Champagne at our post-flight tailgate parties.  You will also have the opportunity to join us at various ballooning events.   

If you are interested in becoming a member of the Flying Colours Balloon Team, just email us and let us know!

LET'S DO LAUNCH!!!

Pictures from Monty!!!

Monty from Salt Lake City just sent an email with the photos below.  He and his family were at the 2003 Fiesta for the weekend - "We used to live in Albuquerque and crewed for many years.  This was our first trip back in 5 years. . . we were walking the field and came across your Balloon about the time the sun came up and your crew was just great!  So we spent most of the morning taking pictures and cheering you on. . .you and your crew reminded us how COOL balloonists are! Thanks!!" 

We have invited Monty and his family to crew at this year's Fiesta - we hope they can make it to Albuquerque!!!
