People Wanting to Crew
Interested in joining a chase crew after mid May. Have always loved the balloons. Wanted to do this for a long time now that I’m retired I can.

Brand new, never been in a hot air balloon. Looking to connect to get a sense/feel of what it means to be part of a crew and potentially, pilot. I would appreciate any insights and wisdoms you have.
Thank you very much!

Greetings,
I'm interested in doing some hot air balloon crewing. I've previously crewed about a dozen launches of balloons and airships with Greenpeace. I live in Lakewood Colorado and would like to keep it as local as possible.
Thanks

Hello! I am writing about joining a chase crew in the Denver and surrounding areas to learn the ropes
of balloon flying. I am an instrument rated private pilot and I have always wanted to fly balloons.
Look forward to hearing from you,
