UIHC draws BY ASHTON SHURSON THE DAILY IOWAN The sky sometimes displays an array of dull clouds and bland colors — but every once in awhile, on a summer night or complaints early morning, a colorful bulb fills the sky, floating aimlessly. And if such a scene is taken in from around eastern Iowa, there’s a good chance a hot-air balloon piloted by Bill Hosford or son-in-law Kevin Kamp has something to do with the beautiful disrup- tion of an otherwise uninteresting sky. In July 2004, Hosford and Kamp started the Marion-based Balloon Trav- els Unlimited — and the journey has been, well, uplifting. “It’s just a really magical experience,” said Kamp, who added that he and Hos- ford made 75 flights last year during their typical mid-May to mid-October season. “Every flight is different.” Although their business is relatively new, the two said they began their love affair with aeronautics long before they left the ground. “I’ve always, always liked airplanes and things that fly,” Hosford said. “[Bal- looning] is a whole different component of aviation that fascinated me.” The 60-year-old gained his private pilot’s license for a fixed-wing aircraft in 1971 and his hot-air balloon private pilot license in May 2005.
