Meet the Pilots
Dee
Dee's passion for aviation began at just 14 years old, flying alongside his father in a fixed-wing aircraft. What started as a childhood fascination grew into a lifelong career, with thousands of hours of flight experience across multiple aircraft types. After years in fixed-wing aviation, Dee discovered hot air ballooning and quickly found a new passion in the world of lighter-than-air flight. Known for his enthusiasm, experience, and genuine love of flying, Dee brings a unique energy to every flight. He enjoys sharing the beauty of the skies and the incredible landscapes below with his passengers, creating memorable experiences that last long after landing. For Dee, flying is more than just a profession—it's a way of life.
