Hi Guys John Pepper here balloonist from Hamilton
New Zealand , Great to see you guys are setting up this kind of site its really
helpfull for us down here at the bottom of the globe to get feed back on whats
going on up there in the states . We are currently starting the winter of 07
down here so all the ballons we have are being packed away and some of our
pilots are getting ready to head off over seas to fly in the northern
hemisphere.
I am starting on my latest project which is a VERY
OLD Balloon works 4.0 triangle basket serial number 192 with a mirage burner and
a 76.000 cubic foot bolan top .
Brian Bolan is cutting out the top back in Vermont
and ill be sewing it up when he returns to New Zealand in the summer
.
The balloon is sponsorded by my cafe here in
Hamilton Cafe Strata the only balloon themed cafe in the southern
hemisphere.
The balloon carries a N.Z redg but is classed by
our C.A.A as experimental.
Keep in touch with me here on email me on pep...@xtra.co.nz it would be great to
hear from any of you BALLOONATICS up there
Regards John 29. 05.
