Barry DiLibero Pilot - America One
Barry has been flying balloons since 1991 and special shapes since 2002. He is our fearless leader although sometimes we just put up with him. |
Teri DiLibero SkyBoss, Photography & Web Master
Teri is Barry's wife of how many years? I can't remember. I think we are going on 14 but Barry tells me it is really only 12. Anyhow, I'm the one that takes most of the pictures and is in charge of pins, the web site and whatever else is really important. |
Danny Campbell Pilot - Flighthouse
Danny flew America One for us in 2006 and did a fine job although he did earn the nickname 'Swamp Rat' for his ability to find the worst spot to land every time... I won't even go into the Jackson sewage plant thing. We still love him in spite of his landing choices. Danny is also the owner and pilot for 'Burnie- the Little Devil Balloon'. |
Richard Rapp Pilot - Patriot
Richard Rapp is the 'New Guy' and flying Patriot this year. He really isn't new to balloons as he has been flying them longer (1981) than the other two rookies described previously. |

Jim - Crew Chief America One
Jim has a dubious distinction. He is also Teri's Dad. There is no one more loyal and willing to get the job done. For that we are incredibly grateful. He is a fast learner and amazingly easy to work with. Plus, we get his dog Suzy as an added bonus.

Phil Bird
Crew Chief Flighthouse Phil has been regular Pennsylvania crew for us for many years. This will be his first year at Albuquerque and we are looking forward to him finding landing spots for us as he works for the United States Geographical Service. We will soon see..

Mike Shrum Crew Chief Patriot Pending his very successful surgery!
Mike is normally the pilot of La Ristra! But this year he has had some health issues and has taken pity on us and if all works out, will be crew chief on Patriot.

 Frank Davis Frank will be our Crew Chief at large for Albuquerque this year. Everyone loves Frank. This is a fact. He has been stolen from us by Susan, his new wife. Frank and Susan will be with us this year and we are grateful. ;-) |
