April 14th – Well the text is now off the balloon. Our wonderful sponsor for the last two years is going through a revamping of their business and asked us to remove them for now. We have saved all the letters and will install them on a yellow banner to put back on the balloon when the time is right. Thanks Melodie and Bob for your help.
Since we needed to do a test flight to make sure we didn’t make any errors in removing the text we took up Dave Mitchell for a commercial training flight. Dave is currently a private pilot with many hours. Dave did great considering he is more accustomed to smaller balloons. The madding was perfect and now Dave is current and ready for his check ride Thanks Brain and Bob for crewing and Erik for riding along!

THE balloon is ready to fly passengers. WE DID NOT make any errors in removing the text.
