“Every flight is a new adventure.  What is most enjoyable is the great people you can meet from all over the world. From Bermuda to the Azores, Cape Town to Moscow. 

Darrek began his hot air ballooning career as a crew in the mid-1990s, but before too long, realized that he wanted his balloon.  Darrek graduated from a 141 Flight School located in Park City, Utah.  Darrek is an FAA Certified Commercial Pilot, flying year-round in Quechee. He has had the pleasure of flying in Italy, parts of Europe, and Canada.
