1st EMAIL TO UNCLE about Becoming a Pilot



From my Uncle Rien when he first learned that i was going to begin working on my pilots licience.

DECEMBER 2002

Hello Russell,
Great news that you are going to work on getting your pilot licence as well. This means that a 3th Jurg will be a balloon pilot. Since some time now I am working on my new balloon company in Thailand. The passenger booking is going in a good direction. There is a lot to tell about this. Best look first on my website. www.orientalballoonflights.com and you will know a lot more about our activities during oktober and march. Russell , if I can help you with training or whatever, let me know ! Maybe we can meet soon. It is my dream to have a family party in the nearest future in my "balloon" house in Chiang Mai. Thailand is also a good place for training flights.Best regards to everyone. Good to hear from you say hello to David Smuck. Look forward to meet him also again.

See you soon,
Rien

MY 1st email to my uncle:

Hello Rien~

How are you? Hope all is well. My father said that you've been in Thailand alot. It must be beautiful over there. I wanted to type you a little e-mail to let youknow that I've begun to pursue my pilot's licience. Two weeks ago I drove out to Austin Texas to meet with David Smuck to see what I need to do in order for me toget my licience. David is going to guide me througheverything. I'm currently living in Houston Texas,which isn't too far from Austin. The drive isn't toofar. I'm excited, this is something that I've always wanted to do since I was 10 years old. Anyways...please say hello to the family for me, have agreat holiday & happy new year.

Take care,
Russell Jurg
