Even without this "formal training", you can help pilots and crew with their balloons . . . but, I thought it might be fun to post this "formal opportunity" for those of you who'd like to have an in-depth chase crew experience. I think that kids might be able to come to this training session, too. Just in case I'm wrong . . . call ahead and see if they can at least come to the seminar . . . even if they're not allowed to formally chase crew?
