The Crew Achievement Award Program was in part designed to increase recognition of the often-unsung heroes of our sport - the dedicated crew.
Formally recognizing crew members and involving them in this program will mean crews will be more knowledgeable and enthused about ballooning.

YOU can do this!
If you thought flying in a balloon was amazing, wait til you try flying the balloon yourself. You're in control of a gentle giant floating across the countryside. Fire the powerful burner and you're on your way up, come down to get a closer look or to change direction with the wind. Careful, it's addictive!
Who can learn to fly? People from all walks of life fly balloons. Generally speaking, earning a license requires exercising sound judgment; being able to speak English, taking flight instruction, passing both a written and flight test, and having no disqualifying medical condition.

Before signing up for ballooning events, we thought you may wish some practice. These programs are not intended to provide you with actual flying skills nor will they qualify you for your BFR.
