We are still flying high from the time we spent in Statesville with you two ...... and we never even saw the balloon ....... :-)

Congratulations on being honored today ..... I can't think of anyone more worthy!

Even though you never saw the balloon, trust me, the truck is almost the same size. LOOK AT IT!! I've seen smaller schoolbuses. Thanks for coming out.

I was told by the organizer just the other day that Statesville is still talking about our flight. We were high enough for the entire city to see us. Next year NC is honoring 100 years of powered flight (hey, we have an on-board heater, rated at 30,000,000 btu's, THAT'S POWER) and Statesville's event will change to May 3 weekend. They are very interested in having us back.

Keep it in mind.
