We are getting there!  The new site layout looks nice and I am slowly getting all the video tutorials loaded back up.  Many still apply even if the colors are different than before.  Slowly over time I will get them all updated with new videos on the current site.  But for now I am making sure everything works and that I like all the colors.  Then I will have to fix the backgrounds on the advertisements and THEN I can redo some of the videos.  YOU CAN HELP!  Get a General Membership today!

We have a new Student Pilot practice test on our sister site Balloons-andBeyond.com.  Here is the link to the test. Have a try and see how well you do. 

We also have a page where you can help and ADD questions.  Here is the link for that page.

Currently we have nearly 60 questions for the form to choose from.  Each time you refresh the page 20 questions are chosen at random.  So you can take the test over and over and get different questions.

We have one spot left on the new custom balloon cup. Go to https://balloons-andbeyond.com/2023-balloon-cup/ to take the last spot. Purchase required

We now have a new tutorial on how to create your own Status Update!
