Ballooning in Yorkshire with Blue Sky Balloons
Description
The Name
Blue Sky Balloons first started flying passengers in 1989 from the Aire Valley in West Yorkshire and was then known as "Aire Valley Balloons". After a couple of years we relocated to an area of wonderful countryside near Knaresborough in North Yorkshire and changed our name to "Blue Sky Balloons".
He bought his first hot air balloon in 1977, an all red balloon from Cameron Balloons in Bristol. Its serial number was 360 and it was the 360th hot air balloon to be manufactured by Cameron Balloons. This balloon was flown in the York area and it also visited many hot air balloon meets around Britain, sometimes flying with up to 250 other balloons.
John obtained his Commercial Balloon Pilot's Licence when they were introduced in 1988, and started flying passengers soon after. Since then he has flown more than 1900 passenger balloon flights.
