A Glimps of the Past

Before one of my training flight with my passengers down in Mexico. Good friends Paloma and Javier. Javier was also a student pilot at the time. Sooo many great memories of my time down there training to become a pilot.

This is me taking off during one of my very first solo flights down in Mexico 2003
This picture isnt very clear. But it was taken right after one of my flight down in Guanajuato Mexico. These young Mexican kids came running to the field I landed in. They ran from their homes to greet me. They later helped me pack the hot air balloon.

REST IN PEACE CHEP













Just found out today that my good friend Chep
passed away from his battle with cancer. My deepest condolences and respects go out to his family and close friends. He was truely a genuine sole who cared alot about his friends and family. One of the most talented artictechs and artists that I have ever met. He welcomed us with open arms every time we were in Guanajuato for ballooning.

Chep was there during my pilot training and help make my dream of becoming a hot air balloon pilot possible. May you rest in peace my friend. I'm going to miss you alot and I will never forget you. Thank you for your friendship.
