For the gondola, he had a flimsy lawn-chair with two barbecue- grill style small propane tanks on either side, and a burner way above his head to heat the air inside the balloon. On 13th October 1961 (some accounts say 23rd September), seated on the contraption that dangled precariously from the balloon, Barnes rose to 8,000 feet. In an interview with WSIC-TV News in 2017, Barnes said that until that time, he had never seen a balloon and had never been up in a balloon. “I had to make it all up; figure out how to do it. Make the burner, make the balloon, make something to sit in, and off I went. It was pretty crude, but it worked, by golly.” The previous era of ballooning had continued from its birth in 1783 to the end of the nineteenth century. Revival of the hot-air balloon began around 1958 at Raven Industries, which led to the birth of the modern hot-air balloon. In the 1950s, Paul Edward Yost and three other General Mills employees were working on both scientific and military balloon projects in Minnesota. They set up Raven Industries in 1956, in South Dakota. More than two years later, Admired as a brave pioneer and mechanical Following the sad news of his demise, many Raven received a $47,000 grant from the genius in lighter-than-air aviation, Tracy fellow balloonists, friends, and Office of Naval Research.

Consequently, Ed Yost came to be known as the Father of the Modern Hot Air Balloon. According to Orvin Olivier, a historian for the Balloon Federation of America, who worked at Raven Industries and started flying balloons in 1974, there are lot of other people that were near pioneers who came in the late sixties, but Tracy was there real close to the beginning. “He was definitely one of the few really true hot-air ballooning pioneers in the world,” said Olivier. By the mid-1960s, Raven Industries, Tracy Barnes, Don Piccard, and Mark Semich were manufacturing hot-air balloons. For more than a decade, they experimented with technical improvements to make hot-air ballooning a safe form of Tracy Barnes was inducted into the International Ballooning Hall of Fame in 2017, at a flight.

Recounting Barnes’ balloon crash in Wrightsville in the June 20, 2018, York Daily Record, Gordon Freireich writes, “The landing and balloon fire in Wrightsville slowed him down, but Barnes was not deterred. He ordered a new balloon from his home base in South Carolina. It took several days for the balloon to arrive in Wrightsville. In the meantime, Barnes stayed in the camper that was part of his ground equipment.” When Barnes was ready to take off again, hundreds of onlookers had gathered by the Susquehanna River, and wished him well in his new, wonderful hot-air balloon. Barnes achieved the cross-country hot-air balloon journey in a series of 34 flights over 200 hours from April 9 to September 11. Unfavorable winds forced him to land five miles short of Atlantic City-his final destination. In addition to setting endurance and distance records, Barnes had also reached an altitude of 28,585 feet. He was already a celebrity before he had started the cross-country flight, but this adventurous trip brought him many more accolades from the ballooning community. Nott and Barnes became friends from the time they first met in the summer of 1972. Recounting their first meeting, Nott said, “I had flown to 36,000 feet in 1972 in a hot-air balloon, which was a world record at that time, though modest as it seems now, and as Tracy Barnes made his first balloon with five used army parachutes and rose to 8,000 feet on 13th a result Tracy invited me to the 7 Up October 1961.

  • Lucy Luck Stefan Inducted Into the U
    Lucy Luck Stefan Inducted into the U. S. Ballooning Hall of Fame August 2, 2009 Born March 15, 1923 in St. Paul Minnesota Lucy’s interest, love and enthusiasm for flying probably began when she was eight years old when her oldest brother bought her a ride on an airplane at World Chamberlain Airport in Minneapolis. At an early age, her Dad described Lucy as a "Sparkplug". To her siblings she was "Sparky” and she still is!!! And she is definitely a “Sparkplug” in the history of ballooning. As one of the early women aeronautical engineering students at the university in Minnesota, she met Professor Jean Piccard and his balloonist wife Jeanette Piccard. Professor Piccard became one of her college professors. During her ballooning activities she flew with Tony Fairbanks in Philadelphia and met Tracy Barnes in Minneapolis and got to know such notable balloonists as Malcolm Forbes, Dewey Reinhart, Bertrand Piccard and Eddie Allen. Her Commercial Pilot, Lighter-Than-Air, Free Balloon License (limited to hot air balloons, with or without airborne heaters) is dated October 31, 1973. She received this in the early days of ballooning when all you had to do was sign your name on the license. She received her fixed wing aircraft pilot’s license when she was 40 years old, and has been around ballooning for fifty years. She was never actually a balloon pilot, but was a crew member and an observer for many years. Lucy has flown in both gas and hot air balloons. Her most spectacular flights were three that she had in Switzerland flying over the Swiss Alps and landing twice in Germany and once in Italy.

This year we held three World Championship events and the 62nd Coupe Gordon Bennett. In addition to our World Hot Air Balloon Championship, we held our 4th Junior World Championship and the 3rd Women’s World Championship. All three World Championship events were held in very small communities, with the smallest having a population of only 2500. I find it amazing these three small communities could find the support and sponsorship to host a major Championship and do such a great job. Poland hosted two of these events and Austria one event. We helped support two international youth camps this year. One was held in Europe and the other one was held in Brazil. Over one half of the participants in this year’s Junior World Championship had previously attended a youth camp supported by the CIA. Our technical committee is in the process of implementing our new 2nd generation logger system. This new system is capable of doing a lot more than our present system and many events are looking forward to using it at their event. We are confident that our substantial investment into this new project will make a good financial return. Our 1st logger program paid back our investment in five years and is still making money! We need to continue to develop new Event Directors and senior staff.

To soar like a bird over mountaintops, to view the world below free of earthly restraints – this was a dream of power, of safety, and of freedom.
