YOUR PILOT:

Since 1975, Dan Glick, pilot/owner has been flying both commercial hot air balloons and helicopters! He has well over 6,000 fun flight hours and is FAA certified and recent experience compliant! As a University student Dan worked with the engineers that were developing hot air balloons for commercial balloon rides! Since then Dan pioneered hot air balloon rides in Temecula, Palm Springs, Del Mar and has sent many hot air balloons world-wide to places such as Europe, Africa, New Zealand and Australia! In the summer of 1973 Dan was hired with his Bell 47 helicopter to help with land survey and cattle/livestock management for the master plan community of Temecula, California. This introduction to the topography and weather of the Temecula Valley proved to be a valuable orientation for offering passenger hot air balloon rides.

She has a variety of outdoor award-winning photographs from Temecula wine country, hot air balloons, European cityscapes and landscapes!
