Dean 's background
I have been flying since I was 18 years of age. I started as a fixed wing pilot (aeroplanes) in 1992 and got into Hot Air Ballooning in 2005. I am a qualified flight instructor for fixed wing and Ballooning. I love any form of aviation being full scale to radio controlled to kites. I class myself as retired as I do my hobby for a living. There is nothing like being up in the sky free as a bird.Last in-flight photos (more...)
