Sometimes I wish I could be an eagle, soaring

through the skies, feeling the wind in my face and

rushing through my feathers, flying round and

round almost effortlessly in thermals, flying in

beautiful wide open places. Years ago I had just a

little taste of what it might be like to be an eagle,

when I took an introductory flight in a glider (for

my birthday, thanks to my husband Larry). Alt-

hough I couldn’t feel the wind, I could hear it as

we soared through the skies over Fremont, Cali-

fornia. We soared seemingly without effort, that is

until the instructor guided me through some basic

flying maneuvers. It was definitely a rush and gave

me a sense of the freedom of quiet flight. The ne-

cessity of a tow plane and other considerations

eventually yielded the decision to not pursue fur-

ther instruction.

It was perhaps only a couple of years later when,

thanks again to Larry for another birthday sur-

prise, we experienced our first balloon flight in

1986 with Larry & Sandi Houska. We didn’t soar

with speed but the floating and the scenery were

the just the ticket to all the blessings of the past

29 years of flight via ballooning. Making flight hap-

pen from inflation procedures through pack-up,

sharing the amazement and joy of spectators, and

especially the people of ballooning -- that’s all of

YOU -- these are what gives us the “rush” of aer-

ostation. Although we may tow a trailer, we don’t

have just a tow plane. We have a wealth of friends

who come out to make it all happen, to share in

the seemingly effortless floating (good pilots make

it appear so). And besides the

beautiful scenery in mostly

Pacific Coast Aeronauts Meeting Minutes -- Novener 4th, 2015

Submitted by Suzanne Seiler

Attending: Jeff Downs; Ken Wendell and Katrina Womax; Jeff Haliczer; Linda Walton; Suzanne Seiler.

This turned out to be an informal meeting; that is, no official club business was discussed. A lively discussion about many things

ballooning ensued.

Introduction of New Members: Jeff Downs is a student pilot; his instructor is ‘Magic’ Bob Locklin. Ken and Katrina live in

Brentwood and commute to the Sunnyvale area for work. They discovered the PCA online and have been crewing for awhile.

Rally Reports:

Albuquerque: weather was better overall than some previous years but still had some very windy conditions; it was

surprising that some flew at those times. Jeff Haliczer reported problems with fly-in competitions on days that special

shapes are launching; some shapes have contracts to do static displays and cannot be expected to deflate.

WHAMOBASS 51: about 21 balloons participated. Great weather. The traditional anvil firing by Deke Sonnichson and

picture in the round by Brian Lawler took place Saturday morning. The late afternoon potluck meal and program were

very enjoyable.

Other Topics Discussed:

Jeff has about 3 hours logged instruction and enjoys working with Magic Bob.

Ken & Katrina have crewed at Reno and Albuquerque. In Albuquerque, they crewed for the Pirate Ship from United

Kingdom and the Penguin. There were some busy days, hard work on the pirate ship, lack of sleep, and they loved it all.

They are thinking about getting their own balloon. They inquired about travel time and entry fees for participation in

rallies.

Jeff Haliczer responded with some important points about pilot training, equipment

and rallies. The pros and cons of various pilot training programs and methods were

highlighted. Cost of new versus used balloons & equipment runs on average from

$35,000 down to $5,000. He named some of the manufacturers. He recommends

crewing with different pilots and balloons, to get experience with different systems

and techniques. Regarding rallies, Jeff shared that entry fees are minimal and are

usually refunded upon showing up. Covered costs are usually hotel, propane, some

meals, and depending on the event, the pilot could get up to $300 show-up money.

The meeting adjourned at 8:20pm.

Next meeting is Wednesday, December 2, 2015 @ 7pm.

wide open places, we celebrate the friendships and

families we’ve been given.

Within this newsletter, there are other stories to

enjoy and newsworthy information about the ad-

vancement of our sport -- all reasons for sitting down

and reading the contents herein. And on that note,

I ask a favor: if you do invest a bit of time in

reading this newsletter, would you kindly

email us at [email protected] and let us

know? At the very least, let us know that you

looked at/read the newsletter. If you’re willing to

take a little more time, we’d appreciate if you’d tell us

what you enjoyed and what you didn’t, whether you

learned anything new about ballooning in general or

something specific. Tell us what you’d like to read.

And of course, you’re always welcome to tell us

about your experiences and share your photos. You

don’t need to write much and photos are easy to

share -- just send it to that same email address above.

Remember the excitement of telling others about

your early ballooning experiences? That same excite-

ment is a joy to read about, even if it’s years later --

and believe me, those of us who read the newsletter,

DO enjoy reading what others share!

Relish the beauty of autumn flights, be safe, and

please do consider opportunities to share your aero-

static joys.

November 21st 232 Years ago it adventure of

ballooning began. It has evolved and continues to

grow and evolve. Below is drawing of the first Hot

Air Montgolfiere balloon.


WHAMOBASS LI (51), 2015

By Alan Brandt

The Whiskey Hill, Atherton, Menlo Oaks Ballooning

and Sporting Society held their 51st annual balloon event in

Coalinga, Ca. under the auspices of the Pacific Coast

Aeronauts. Although the historically significant late

November weekend date has been replaced by the now late

October weekend, we were all soothed by the absolutely

perfect weather for the entire weekend.

We arrived Thursday afternoon and decided to park

the RV in the Camping/Tailgate area next to the practice

football field which doubles as our launch site for the

event. It seems somehow that the practice field had gotten too wet for football practice…I didn’t

know that happened anywhere in California this year…so the Thursday afternoon Homecoming game

practice was moved down to the much drier “RV” area. We pretty much were in the middle of practice

for a couple of hours. I did especially enjoy watching the receiver drills. Each drill had the coach

throwing a different pass (high, low, right, left, etc.) to each receiver. Any missed/dropped passes

resulted in 10 pushups for the receiver…regardless of the quality of the pass from the coach. Seems

like another good reason to have become a nerd rather than a jock. By the end of the evening we had a

few more RV/Balloonists on the field with at least 4 or 5 balloons in town for the early Friday flights.

Friday morning was just perfect. Clear (if dark) skies and light winds. Seems everyone there was a bit

short of crew due to cancellations, illnesses, etc. Of the 5 balloons on the field two pilots decided to

share a balloon (and therefore some crew) which gave us 4 balloons in the air for what some might call

our media day. Interestingly we had quite a mix of balloons: A jumper(hopper), an Aroura, a 77K and

our 90K (why do we always get the big one?) Being a bit short on crew ourselves, Linda invited a local

photographer and his wife to join us. With their great help we soon had Mothra ready to fly. We got

both of our new “crew” into the basket and sent them off into the heavens. The winds stayed light with

Alan drifting a couple of miles to the east (the good direction, just ask the witch) before finding a slow

return back west. The balloon landed between the highway and old airport making for Continued on pg. 5

simple access and easy pack up. Back at the encampment the first flight ceremony,

champagne toast and great tailgate brunch was enjoyed by all. Friday afternoon was

spent catching up with old friends as they arrived, naps, thrift store shopping for the ladies and

more football practice. Today they were able to do their non-contact walk throughs on the main

practice field which was a good thing since we had taken over much more of “our” area.. Tomorrow

the event should start with a “bang.”

Saturday morning did indeed start off with a BIG bang. Our Balloonmeister emeritus , Deke

Sonnichsen, called the pilots to briefing by “firing the anvils.” If you haven’t witnessed this event,

you have really missed something. It is a sound to behold…although your ears might disagree. At

the briefing, we were introduced to this year’s Chief Judge, Claire Lucas (Hot Air Claire to some)

and received the task that was to be completed by the evening pot luck dinner. The “task” for this

year was to create a presentation (story, skit, poetry) involving Aliens, blue, balloons, and 51.

Knowing that Claire was at the event for her flight review (in our balloon) we immediately began the

bribing, a well established tradition here at WHAMOBASS. Several crew volunteers appeared to

help out after getting calls from our passengers on Friday. Word of mouth works very well in a small

town…they all work at the local hospital. With the extra help we soon had Claire, Alan and another

new crew member up in the air where Alan was able to run Claire through many different tasks as

part of her review. About the time we thought we might have to go out to find the balloon, our crew

member noticed they had gone quite high and were heading back in the direction of the launch field.

Although the winds were quite light, she was able to follow the path of those before her (Paul

Cheatham and, of course, Dana Thornton) and make a return to the launch field.

After our pack up we retired to our camp for another initiation and post flight brunch and, of

course, to continue the bribery. We already knew that Claire was, in fact, an “alien”…yes, a legal one

with a green (sadly not “blue”) card. We discovered that she was born in 1965, the year of the first

WHAMOBASS event…you do the After our pack up we retired to our camp for another initiation

and post flight brunch and, of course, to continue the bribery. We already knew that Claire was, in

fact, an “alien”…yes, a legal one with a green (sadly not “blue”) card. We discovered that she was

born in 1965, the year of the first WHAMOBASS event…you do the math. After finding a lovely

blue vest for her to wear at dinner, building an Area “51” alien containment area and trying to put

our day’s story to rhyme we were ready to join the on field pot luck dinner.

They’re due by January 1st!

WHAMOBASS 51 (LI) continued from pg. 5

Although it was the first year for having a pot luck tailgate for the Saturday evening festivities, we

think it worked out wonderfully. There was a great selection of foods from a table full of hors

d’oeuvres to abalone risotto, homemade tacos, couple of chili dishes, etc. After dinner 3 three teams

made their task presentations. When it came to our turn, we made sure Claire was dressed in blue and

safely kept inside the Area “51” containment while we presented the poem “Our Blue Alien. ”After

much deliberation, we were awarded the grand prize and Alan gets to take home the seis-mograph to

display in the shop for the next year. We really think the change to an on field pot luck worked

perfectly. The food was great and the presentations were almost like a theater in the round…

everyone could see and hear easily. We hope this becomes the tradition and even more crews will join

in the years to come. Sunday morning had some high cloud cover, but still very light winds. Two

balloons flew Dawn Patrol flight while the other 17 balloons launched into the light winds mostly

floating to the west…wrong witch this time. This takes the balloons toward the oil fields and very

limited access. With the help of our re-turning new found local crew we got Mothra launched and were

able to take another of the crew on a flight. Alan was able to finally find a decent landing spot near

(but not in) the oil fields. Access was easy and pack up went quickly. Of course there was more

tailgating after the flight before getting Alan packed and on his way. We chose to stay over until

Monday with some of our crew. A relaxing afternoon

and our traditional final dinner in town closed out the

event for us. I want to thank our hosts at West

Valley College, PCA committee chairs Pat Moore and

Jennifer Parks, the city and people of Coalinga

(especially our crew volunteers) and all the pilots and

crew who made this another great year. It is always

sad to say goodbye to yet another WHAMOBASS (and

flying season.) We should all remember what Deke

would command us to shout:

Happest of New Year to YOU!

His email address is: [email protected] I have been involved in ballooning for almost 30 years. I started crewing for a couple of pilots while in high school in Northeastern Ohio and continued over the years. I have participated as a crew member in many festivals/rallies, including the U.S. Nationals when it was in Ohio in the early 90's. I received my private pilot license for fixed wing in 2004. Then about three years ago I started to obtain my Lighter Than Air rating. Two years ago I had the opportunity to buy a balloon - from the pilot that I first crewed for 30 years ago - and I obtained my rating last year. (No, I am not a slow learner...just faced with crazy work schedule, crappy weather, and a shorter flying season in Ohio!)

Doug, his balloon and family.

After commuting for two years, and enduring a couple of brutal winters in Ohio, I finally wised up and moved the family to California in late June of this year. I have been flying in the Woodland, CA area and I am looking forward to participating in a lot of festivals and getting to know a lot of you. I have been married for 21 years and have two sons. One is 19 and serving in the Air Force and the other is 14 and a freshman in high school.

Remembering those we lost in 2015:

Gen Sanderson:

Gen was a loved friend to balloonists and crew from California, Oregon and Nevada. On the mornings Alan would fly, she'd watch the activities from the warm truck cab and then orchestrate brunch activities. Although health issues slowed her down the last couple of years, her love for the sport remained strong.

We miss her. Linda Walton

Charlie Sundquist:

The Memorial for Charlie Sundquist

resides at the Launch field he flew from for

many years. Charlie was know as a pilot

who shared the sport and encouraged

many crew to become pilots. He was

involved with the Balloon Federation of

America for many years and served on the

board of directors. And he was a world

class joke and story teller. I feel privileged

to have shared the sky and many tailgates

with Charlie and Martha. His joy of life and

love of ballooning will be missed.

Tom Sharpee’s Ballooning Life

My ballooning life started March 1990 in Page Arizona. After serving 20 years in the Navy, a new assignment to the Navy Parachute Team, The Leapfrogs changed my life. The Leapfrogs had been asked to perform at the Page Balloon Regatta. We did a jump on Friday night into the Welcome dinner. Saturday morn-ing we performed at the open ceremonies by flying in the US Flag. Saturday night there was a dinner for performers and the community. There was a fundraiser for the Regatta during the dinner. During the dinner it came up that the Leapfrogs would like to jump out of balloons during the flight Sunday morning. Jeanne Anson was a pilot at the Regatta. Kay Wade(West) had come to crew for Jeanne & told Jeanne that she “had” to take up a skydiver. After some persuasion Jeanne agreed to do it. The next morning we showed up at the state park and all the balloons were there. Bill Mueller was my balloon pilot. He was flying a Balloon Works 105,000 cf balloon. Bill and crew cold inflated and stood the balloon up. Bill asked me to join him in the basket. I jumped in and stuck my parachute down beside one of the tanks. He also had two sponsors and their 10 year child in the basket. We took off and climbed out over Lake Powell. It was a little cold that morning. The tempera-tures were in the 30’s. Page sits at 4250 ft MSL. As we were climbing out I noticed there was Virga above us. As we got close to 10,000 ft MSL it started to snow around the balloon. It was so cool. We were over the center of the Lake and were told we could not land on the island in the middle of the lake. Bill looked and me and told me to get ready to jump. I reached down grabbed my parachute and put it on. The young man in the basket asked me what I was doing. I told him I did not like landing in balloons and was getting out here. Bill had put the balloon into a 500 ft decent and we were at about 8,000 ft. I was sitting on the edge of the basket. Bill said I could jump when ever I was ready. I leaded back and fell away from the basket, as I was falling away looking up the young man was looking over the edge of basket with eyes as big as saucers. Within a few seconds I was at terminal speed,110 MPH, rolled over and de-ployed my parachute. I saw a nice green grass area near one of the restaurants. I did few turns and lined up to land, a few people from the restaurant were watching me flying in. I did a stand up landing and got applause from the crowd. As I was picking up my parachute a security guard came around the corner and said you can’t land here. I said I can’t go back up either. One of the crowd asked me if I needed to get out of there. I said that would be nice. He gave me a lift back to the State Park. Most of the other Leapfrogs were there and we packed up our gear and went back to the hotel. We were packing up our parachutes when Jeanne Anson and Tim Brady re-turned from there flights with two of the Skydivers. They asked us not to say any-thing about the first flight ceremony. We said “what ceremony?” Tim looked at


Continued from page 9

Jeanne, who was single at the time, and asked her if she wanted 12 Leapfrogs on their knees in front of her. She said “of course”! Jeanne did the ceremony with all twelve us. We did the toast then got ready to fly back to San Diego. Six months later the Leapfrogs were scheduled to perform jumps in Bakers-field Ca. The US Army Golden Knights were also scheduled to do jumps. At the Fri-day night reception there was a live band playing, and while I was in line for dinner I saw Jeanne and asked her if I could have a dance later, and she said sure. After dinner I was sitting at a table when the female Golden Knight came over and asked if we could just sit and talk. I said sure, a few minutes later Jeanne came over and asked if I wanted that dance now. I excused myself from the young lady and danced with Jeanne. The next morning the Leapfrogs were not scheduled to jump so we were able to go fly with the balloonists. Jeanne had asked me if I wanted to fly with her. She and her crew stood up the balloon and I got in and we took off. It was a great flight that lasted about an hour. We were coming across a field and she called her crew to say we were going to land on the cen-terline of the road. We were coming in at about a 45 degree angle. I was not so confident she would do it, the road was not that wide. As we got closer to landing and over the road the wind shifted and she flew right down the middle of the road. Now I was impressed. Before we returned to San Diego Jeanne and I exchanged phone numbers and addresses. We stayed in touch with each other and March of 1991 the Leapfrogs were scheduled to do a show in Page again. Jeanne was there with her balloon again. We hung out together Saturday, and Jeanne had to leave before our jump on Sunday morning. we said good bye and I went to do my last jump with the Leapfrogs. That morning during the jump the jump masters exit point was long and I was to open low and have a smoke grenade fly below me. To make a long story short, I pushed my final turn into landing too close to the ground and hit the taxi way doing about 15 mph. I hit very hard, sat up and waved at the crowd and passed out. I was taken to the hospital in Page. They took x-rays; I had shattered my right ankle, right wrist and had a huge gash in my forehead. The hospital was not able to perform the operation, so I was airlifted to Flagstaff and underwent 8 hours of surgery. I ended up with 8 screws in my ankle, nerve damage to my right arm, and a wrist that has limited movement. After 10 months of rehab I retired from the Navy.

Continued on page 11


During my rehab Jeanne and I started dating and I attended several balloon rallies with her. July of 1992 I got my first balloon lesson from Jeanne. I received my student license Janu-ary of 1993 and my July 9 1995 I received my Hot Air Balloon Commercial Lighter than Air with onboard heater certificate. Jeanne’s balloon Twilight Magic failed annual shortly after we started dating, so she was borrow-ing balloons from friends and former students for a year and a half. I learned to assemble and fly several different brands of balloons. In

April of 1993 Jeanne and I were engaged and married April 23 1994. Our wedding gift to each other was a balloon works 90,000 CF balloon we called Cosmic Stairway. Since I have received my commercial certificate, I have flown and been crew chief for Jeanne in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Montana, South Da-kota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kansas, France, and Switzerland. I have had a great life ballooning and have meet some amazing people that have become life long friends. Jeanne and I are planning on doing more traveling around the US and flying in new places. I look forward to introducing people to ballooning and gaining new friends. Fair Winds and Soft Landings, Tom

Passenger Management by Larry Houska

Passenger definition - Any person in the basket.

Consider - Who is riding? Paid ride, crew, young, old weight class, less than 8 years old or more than 70? Physical impair-ments?

For paid ride - At time of sale, brief them on what they are getting for their money. What should they expect? One hour ride and champagne is not sufficient enough explanation. If it is a gift certificate for someone else, and not a surprise type, brief them when they schedule their flight. Include such information as to what to wear, bring, loca-tion, time. What is going to happen to them? Explain about the crew fol-lowing the balloon and bringing them back to their car. Ask if they drink champagne. Provide alternate beverages. Discuss the waiver they will be signing. Email it to them in advance if possible.

At the launch site - collect signed forms and brief the passengers. Discuss why they should not get out of the basket. Explain their duties and when to be near the basket. Especially for those who may wander off at rallies. Discuss the no smoking policy, and the non-use of cell phones.

After inflation, get the passengers in. A small, sturdy stool comes in handy. Explain again about not to get out. Go over the landing proce-dure before take-off. During flight, tell the passengers to inform you of the other balloons or power lines very close to the balloon. Explain about balloons on the bottom having a "right of way"

During flight—Keep them entertained. Tell them in advance of your ma-neuvers, especially descents. Discuss balloon rallies, navigation con-tests etc. Don't tell war stories. Keep them happy. Before landing - tell them of your anticipated selections. Remind them about holding on. Judge the winds. If light, say so. If you expect to drag to a stop - tell them that too. Explain hanging on, bending knees, and larger passengers should be positioned close to the direction of travel for landing. No surprises.

Prep for Landing: If you have hand holds, show them. Demonstrate the landing positions. Show equipment. Remind them again how important it is to stay in the basket. If you haven't explained in flight about the parachute top or vent use, do it before landing. No surprises.

After landing - tell the passengers what is happening: Waiting for the crew, gathering the balloon off the brush, whatever.

Passenger Exit — Take out one person at a time. Tell them what you want them to do. Walk to the crew, stand over there, whatever. Remind them of the no smoking policy.
