Scenic Wind Balloon Tours

     Steve Lacroix, first became involved in ballooning in 1989 when his Commercial Pilot cousin, Jeff ask him to come help with some flights in CA. After his first flight experience, and seeing the joy that the balloons created with people he realized that this was sport he wanted to become active in. After many years of crewing for other pilots, in 2003, his dream of becoming a pilot was realized. Many flights as pilot and further training has earned him his Commercial pilot license and now he can share his love of flying with others. 
Steve is a drywall finisher by trade when he's not following his passion of ballooning.

 Elane is the chief driver of the chase vehicle and has spent many years as chase crew after an introduction to hot air balloon flying  in Colorado Springs in 1993. She enjoys seeing others get to experience the joy of flight in a balloon.
    Our crew consists of many people in the area that enjoy being outdoors and helping with the set up, chase and pack up of the balloons. Many are members of the  Nebraska Balloon Club.
    Our balloon named Propane Addiction for Steve’s love of the sport, is an  FAA-registered Aerostar RX8, officially inspected annually. It holds 90,000 cu. ft. of air when inflated. It stands about 70 feet tall, about as tall as a 7 story building. Care is taken to maintain its excellent airworthiness status.

Why should we press #1 for English???!! This song should get airtime on our American radios stations frequently!! Other legal immigrants knew they needed to learn the American language to survive in this land.  Why should we educate or help to finance any part of the lifestyle of those who are here illegally or any of their families??
       
    Rides are provided back to  the launch area for passengers and crew.
