Janet Patton- owner/scheduler
Janet, Kyle's lovely wife, is also infected with the aviation bug. Currently, she is a pilot for American Airlines in Miami, Florida. Primarily the scheduler for balloon flights, Janet is also part of the chase crew when she is not flying for American Airlines. If she is not flying airplanes or chasing balloons, she is mommy to Kyle and Janet's two wonderful girls, Lauren and Danielle.
Lauren
Lauren is a crew chief in training. At seven years old, she is always in the middle trying her hand at helping with the balloon. She loves chasing the balloon while in flight (sometimes even taking a nap) and enjoys playing "chase, freeze, go" after flying. While you might enjoy her company, she stays home during our special flights for customers.
Danielle
Danielle is the latest addition to the crew. At five years old, she is still learning the ropes, and is making great strides. Like her sister, she stays home during our special rides for customers. Along with her hobbies of playing, playing and playing some more, she loves to be held by David the balloonist.
