A Hot Air Balloonist Repair Station Membership.

The Hot Air Balloonist Repair Station Membership is a very powerful membership.  We know that the repairmen are our most valuable resource when it comes to keeping our aircraft safe and flyable.  Your advice and experience is what helps keep us safe in the sky!

This is why we are offering a very powerful membership at one of the least expensive prices on the entire site.  You must have a valid repair station to get this offer.  At $4 a month this membership comes more permission to create topics and replies in more categories than almost any other membership.  We want you to spread your knowledge and advice in almost every category on the site.  If you have a repair station we want your participation on this site.  Here is a list of the many things you can do with your membership.

 

• Customize your personal space.  Ad a company logo or photos of yourself so everyone knows who you are.  Set your local time so postings will have a real time stamp on them.  Add information on the different ways other members can contact you outside the HotAirBalloonist.com site.  Add Age and gender and birth dates if you wish. Set background photos or custom colors for your personal area.  Create a custom signature with logo and email and contact information, so each post or topic you start will have your custom imprint on it.  Create a friends list.  Customize your space anyway you want.
