Sophomore john Hall, family enjoy avid interest in ballooning Sophomore john Hall has an avid interest in ballooning. In fact, his whole family is actively involved in ballooning. Hall and his family became involved in the sport in 1976 while watching a hot air balloon race in Wichita. Since that day, Hall has been going strong in this unusual sport. Ballooning can be an expensive sport, as any balloonist will tell you. A hot air balloon costs anywhere from 57.000 to 325,000 In addition to buy- ing the balloon, other costs include a chase vehicle, propane gas for the balloon, and gasoline for the van. Hall and his family own two Barnes- Firefly AX7 balloons, and are members of a local ballooning club. In- flating a balloon usually takes four people, even in the best of weather. Once inflated, the balloon can carry two or three passengers at a time. Being an avid balloonist, Hall flies at every opportunity. ' He acknowledges approximately 50 flights during the school year. Hall likes ballooning because it is original, peaceful and a fun family sport. He especially likes to go to races, and has been to over 40. Races have proven profitable for the Hall family as they won a new GMC van in a 1983 race in Oklahoma. Keeping the sport alive, the Hall family belongs to three balloon clubs: The Balloon Federation of America, The Kansas Highwinders, and The Wichita Balloon Club , -Missy Knolla Patricia Neil Shelli Nethercot Cory Newby Long Nguyen Quang Nguyen Michael Obrien Mike Ogden Ronald Ollek e Kelly Olson Sophomores 0 179
