Johnny,
I have enclosed a few pictures taken from ballooning this past Saturday.

I want to thank you and your crew.  Taking a balloon flight has been something that I have wanted to do for some time, and I thought it would be a great thing to try while on my first trip to the Santa Fe area.  The balloon flight itself was a wonderful experience, but you, Rick, Michael, and Mary made it the wonderful experience that it was.  We truly enjoyed visiting with all of you and decided that things would not have been the same with another group.  It was the highlight of our trip! 

 
Thank you for the great memories!  Please pass along my thanks to your crew as well.

Hi Debbie,
My name is Jonna and I took a  balloon ride in Santa Fe with Johnny on August 5th.  We were the group of Texas women celebrating a birthday, that Johnny and crew will probably remember for a long time. We all were so impressed with the professionalism of everyone involved that I have raved to everyone here in Houston and hopefully will encourage some other adventurous souls to take to the skies.

One of my neighbors is looking for a balloon company in St. Louis, Mo. for a birthday surprise and I thought I would check with you and Johnny to see if there is a company in that area that you could recommend.  Any information that you might have to assist her in locating a safe, ballooning experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much,

Jonna

Dear Jonna,
Let me check with Johnny and some other resources and I will get back to you. 
Thank you for the rave review, I would like to take some of the credit for Johnny's enthusiasm for his job, but I can not.  He is a special person and I am lucky to have him in my life.
Debbie

Shalom Captain Johnny and Y'all!!
 
We returned home to Jerusalem about 10 days ago from the US. We are still raving to all our friends and family about Capt' Johnny and his smokin' balloon team! What a memorable experience!!. Ballooning with you was a highlight of our trip and laughing with you, sharing stories, (particularly the one about Egypt was just as fun).

Anyway all of us in Israel give you a big shalom and look forward to flying with you again next summer. Give us a shout if the spirit moves you.

Regards, Dan, Mikie, Talia and Arielle in Israel
 

Johnny & Rick,

I just wanted to send you a personal thank you for our time spent with you and your crew this past week. This adventure was the highlight of our weekend spent in Santa Fe. We certainly enjoyed your knowledge, experience and history of Balloon flight. Thanks again for an awesome time, We truly enjoyed it. I also want to extend a personal invitation to you and your family in the event you find yourself in Arizona, please feel free to come stay a few days with us. We would love to have you. Thanks again.  Sincerely, John & Beth


The balloon ride we took with you a few weeks ago is still getting rave reviews from my grandmother.  She was a little disappointed to find out that at 86, she is not the oldest person to ever go up with you (92, as you told us).  She says she's just going to have to come back in seven years and beat that record.

I foolishly booked the ride in the middle of our trip, and sadly, all the beautiful sights and experiences of the following days were a little dulled by the memory of the balloon ride.  We're both very glad we booked with you, because you made it such a fun and personal experience.

Thanks again! Jeanne


I wanted to drop you a note and thank you so much for the great balloon adventure last week.  We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our experience.  It was a pleasure meeting you and your entire crew.  I can’t wait to bring a group to Santa Fe to experience hot air ballooning.

I am completely confident that your company is the right one to entrust my clients to.  In addition I have shared your name and contact information with my contacts at La Posada.  I told them how great you were and they were thrilled to have a great balloon company to recommend.

I look forward to an opportunity to work with you soon.
Best, Robyn


We took a balloon ride with Rocky on the 7th of this month and just had to write to say what a fabulous time we had.

We have had balloon rides before - all great, but the over-all feel and the expertise of Rocky, Karen and the rest of the crew was unbelievable. I have not stopped thinking about it & I would recommend you to all - but hopefully we will be back to enjoy the friendship and ride again.

On a down side we were disappointed that we didn't get to meet the two of you as emails and phone conversations were so enjoyable.

Take care and keep up the good work!

Marianne and Jack

Hi Johnny
 
My big vacation with my sister (George-Anna) in New Mexico was made so special with a balloon ride with YOU and company. 

It was my 70th Birthday present from me to me.
I have had a balloon ride in my minds/eye for probably 50 of those years.
I am so glad we found you for that ride.

Yes, I would do it in a heart beat again.... but I think it would have to be with you and your crew.
I still can not really describe that feeling of "floating on a cloud".

I have been with my sister when she has tried other high adventures..., but she was so at ease with you.

Thanks so much for such a wonderful "fly in the sky".
Much success to a wonderful Man and his vision.

Love ya, Veronika


Hi Johnny,

Just wanted to say again what a wonderful time I had that Wednesday.
Makes sitting at this desk even harder (particularly since having my pictures developed over the weekend)!

Hope you, and all, are well.  THANKS, one more time, for truly a "lifetime memory".


Hey Johnny,

I just wanted to say HELLO and to let you know that you and I are forever friends.
We had a great time with you and Rick & we are still laughing!

I hope you are still having a wonderful time at the Balloon Fiesta even without Marie and me.

Keep in touch, my friend.  Love Ya, Sonya
