Pictures of (or from) "ClipAway" Balloon 2003, 2004,2005,2008
Malvern, PA - a helping hand (2003)
See, I'm a big boy helping out with the ballooon,,,, but these gloves are a tad bit too big!
Lancaster, PA - in the air (2003/2005)
Hey, wait for me! ... that's what I get for taking off almost dead last.
I see the 'X' ... now if I can only get close enough to throw the beanbag at it...
Looking back at those balloons that have not taken off yet (picture credit Jim Brubaker, 2005)

Waiting to pack the fabric into the envelope bag
Hmmmm ... can you imagine having the balloon either drop the kids off at the bus stop or get picked up from there?

It is easy to tell ClipAway made a lasting impression.

The picture on the cake, one of my favorites, was taken during pack up after flying from the Relay-for-Life charity event.
That's Stefani, one of my passengers, in the basket as we were packing up. She managed to strike a cord within and we have remained 'pen pals' since. I was surprised, flattered and humbled when Grandma mentioned Stefani had asked for an ice-cream cake with a specific ballooning picture on it for her 11th birthday.
Is she looking forward to going aloft again? (do you really need me to answer that question?!?)

[Note: due to weather, etc, Stefani didn't fly again in ClipAway until July 4th 2011, with Grandma and her younger brother Devin].
