Just wanted to give some recognition to a group of local flyers who call themselves “The Black Sheep Squadron“. Last weekend, they had organized a fund raising event called “Rally 4 Abbey” for a young girl who is in Albany Med after suffering a brain aneurysm. Even though the balloons were not able to fly due to weather, through food sales and auction donations, they were able to raise $3,875 to help the family with expenses. Last year, the “Sheep” had a “Rally 4 Cody” event for a young boy who has cancer. The willingness and generosity of this group of balloon flyers is truely admirable.
On 5/8, Neal and Kathy got engaged on our PM flight.
Surprise!
Hello blog world, Adirondack Balloon Flights is now blogging.
April 30 was our first passenger flight of the 2009 flight season. Jon and Jessica joined us for a beautiful morning flight.

The trees are just now budding out and some leaves are starting to unfurl, giving a very soft pastel look to the scene. Kinda the opposite of the bright colors of fall, but just as colorful in a subtle way. Our early spring flights offer folks an opportunity to fly with less people onboard since the tourist season is not yet in full swing at either Lake George or Saratoga Springs. Come on out and enjoy our early spring weather! It’s a great time to fly!!
