Chris Heidelbauer Check Ride

The final step in a person’s quest for a hot air balloon pilots license is to do a “Check Ride” with a FAA Certified Flight Examiner. Summer got away from use and with the Iowa examiner tied up with harvest, we drove to Louisville Kentucky to have our friend and examiner Matt Torgerson do the check ride.

So we loaded up Chris, Ryan, Lisa, Maggie, Bill and myself Saturday morning and drove to Louisville. Got up Sunday morning and did Chris’s check ride then drove back to Cedar Rapids.

Ride Scheduling
We have not been flying because of weather and in order to accommodate all those who have already scheduled we’re suspending taking any new reservations until we can get in the air and take care of the backlog. Once that happens we’ll open up bookings again so please check back with us periodically. Thank you ~ Susan Stamats
