Balloonists at locations all across the United States (and possibly worldwide) joined together today in a release of pibal balloons to celebrate the life of Sid Cutter. The release of balloons was the idea of Longview, TX pilot Dr. Bill Bussey.

Bobby Bradley is ready. He has been training for about five years and learned from some of the most experienced and decorated pilots in the sport of ballooning.
But he'll be making his own mark on the sport when he lifts off from a desolate patch of New Mexico desert in about seven weeks: At 9 years old, Bobby will become the youngest trained pilot to fly solo in an ultra-light hot air balloon.

Dear Members,
A number of balloonists have expressed concerns about the way ballooning was
portrayed in a NASCAR commercial that aired on Fox TV this past Sunday.Â
The commercial is depicting the thrill of NASCAR, but has the unintended result
of making our sport look hazardous and extreme.
