Scott, You gave everyone at the wedding a thrill they will never forget! I am impressed beyond words with you not only as a person, but as an experienced pilot. You were, of course, the highlight of the day/evening, and Jamie just went on and on about the balloon. Everyone had a great time (even the blonde that wanted you to fly her home …)!! I can't wait to recommend you to another bride & groom!

Thanks for landing in our neighborhood last night and including all the children into the festivities. They had so much fun putting the balloon away. (I can't believe it fit in that bag!) It was so nice of you and your crew to let everyone jump on the bag. What fun! We'll save up our money and give you a call some day. Until then we'll just wish we were flying with you as you pass over our house. PS You can land here anytime!!!

Scott: We both had a fabulous evening and frequently talk about it. We have recommended this to many friends. It was definitely the high point in our summer. Many thanks.

Hi, We all enjoyed the balloon flight so much we are still talking about it. Thanks again for the wonderful experience. Attached are some of the pictures we took during the flight.

Being avid bird watchers it was breathtaking to fly OVER the birds and see their habitat from a vantage point of a balloon. Not only did we see, we heard the sounds of the wildlife. We heard the Sand Hill cranes before we saw them, we could hear the ducks flapping their wings on the water as they took flight. Flying two feet over the reeds in a giant swamp we could see the nests of the Red Wing Black bird from above. We heartly reccomend "birdwatching" from a balloon. This was an experience we'll never forget!

Dear Scott: Thanks again for the wonderfull experience, we had a great time during the flight yesterday. It certainly looks different from up there! We will recommend a flight with the Sun Pirate to our friends, and hope to find an opportunity to fly again when we get back in the Netherlands. Hope you have many great flights to come! best wishes, Hein & Elisabeth

My Grandson Billy and I flew the "Sun Pirate" balloon for my birthday. It was the most memorable experience I have ever had in my 72 years. (except for giving birth) This "ballooning" as you call it, is something I would like to try again. Thank you.

Hey Scott! We're hooked! We were blown away by the scenery. Who says you need to go "up north" to get away. My family really gave me the best gift ever. I'll never forget it. What's the deal with the farmer with the two watermelon? That was crazy. See ya.

We had a great experience the other night. I did not expect to find it so peaceful. We are so used to flying in a plane with a small window to look out of that when you have a panaramic view it's hard to take it all in! We were very surprised at how you could hear the dogs barking and even people talking especially considering we flew at 500-1000 feet above the ground. The homeowners were very cool too, I can see how you got into this sport. What fun!

Thank you so much for including my grandkids in today's activities! It will be an adventure they will always remember, they had such a great time! Wish you could have heard them tell their parents all about it! I enjoyed it, myself, especially the nip of bubbly.
Sincerely, Alice Miller

Scott; Its been awhile since we last spoke. Hope all is going well and turbulence free! Just wanted to let you know we added a link to your site from our newly created photography site at http://www.grafphoto.com. Even though our trip was 2 years ago, the experience is still fresh in our minds. We still hope to schedule another in sometime soon. Hope all is well with you and your family. Kind regards, Mark & Lisa Graf

My daughter Meredith and I flew with Scott on a "perfect" July 12th evening. The flight was a 60th Birthday present from my wife last September, but weather and other commitments kept moving the flight to this date. We flew from near Milford to Brighton into the setting sun. The view was a feast for the mind!! Everywhere you looked was another new image for your sense of the beauty of nature. Since we participated in the entire mission from unpacking the balloon to re- packing at the end, Scott has provided the best possible experience. We will re-live our flight in pictures and video, and will look forward to another trip some time in the future.

Of all the Christmas gifts I received for the past ten years, the hot air balloon flight on your balloon was by far the best. Sarah and I had never experienced anything so cool. Let's do it again next year!

Scott, You told me that hovering high above the woods and lakes of Southeast Michigan would be a great experience, but you were wrong. It was better than great. It was INCREDIBLE! Riding on a gentle breeze high above the trees, we saw the world in a way we've never seen it before. Looking down, we saw deer running through fields and geese flying lazily below us. Looking east, we could see the sun shimmering on the skyscrapers in downtown Detroit. Going up in your balloon was one of those experiences that you tell and re-tell your friends about -- we still haven't stopped talking about it. Thanks for the flight. We'll be back!

Besides having a flight to remember, the landing was incredible! I don't know how often this happens, but when the landowners invited us in to their South Lyon home for champagne and cigars... that was too much! Scott, I can't tell you enough about how much fun this was. I'm ready to go again.

We had a great flight last week thank you so much. I could not believe the visibility at just over the tree tops. We could see Detroit, Southfield, Ann Arbor it was super.

Dear Scott:

You were an outstanding pilot and provided a wonderful experience for Judy and me.  As we discussed, that was our first time in a hot air balloon and it is most appropriate that it was with you.  We have watched with interest your total involvement in ballooning and have marveled at your commitment to the sport (I guess it is more of a lifestyle). nbsp;In the past, we have enjoyed living vicariously through you and your intriguing odysseys, and we can now say that we were a small part of those adventures.

Thank you for the outstanding evening and we appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Sincerely,

John S. Lore

Scott:

We ended up with some great fall color images, these are some the favorites. Thanks again - you will probably see us again next year.
