In the hot air ballooning world, as in most sports, there are records. There are altitude, duration, and distance records. There are national and world records in each of these categories. There are also different sizes of balloons (classified as AX #'s) and records for each. Within this page and supporting pages you will find my personal records. These are not world or even national records (not yet, anyways!). Just my personal altitude, distance, and duration records.

Most of these flights have been recorded in  pictures and narration. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos taken on these flights as much as I enjoyed the adventure. You may even be able to put yourself in the basket as you travel through these pages!
