wood 1989 Aerostar RX-8

1989 Aerostar RX-8, N35965. High hour envelope. 1989 Midnight Moondrops stock Rally pattern. Envelope has 518.6 hours. It is in good condition for its age, but does require 50-hour retest due to high porosity in isolated areas near the top cap and <45# pull strength in top most corners of teardrop in one color (green, I think). I expect a small amount of fabric replacement will be required next annual, and will return it to a 100 hour annual.

I have owned this balloon since 1994 @116TT. It has been a great balloon and has been well cared for. However, I have bought a replacement, and this one needs a new home. It is available with or without the Balloon Kakoon trailer it is in. Photo taken 10/03 at AIBF.

1988 Aerostar RX-7

1988 Aerostar Rally 77 envelope. The balloon has 143 hours on it and is in good condition. It has banner space around the equator and a spring top. The balloon was just annualed in late September right before ABQ. It burns about 10-15 gallons an hour depending on how many passengers you are carrying.

I am asking $2,500 for the envelope. I could make it a complete system for just a little extra with a single or double burner system, two 15-gallon tanks, RWS basket and trailer.

Thunder & Colt 105

It has been flown regularly, and has been a sponsored balloon at the Fiesta every year (Columbia Sportswear.)

We are asking just $7,500. Please call anytime for details. We do have additional photos available, and we do have a bottom end for it for a short time if you need a full system, but we would rather sell just the envelope.

1993 Head 90

1993 Head 90 envelope, 153 hours total time. The balloon has banner space in the equator; it also has a parachute top, and 2 turning vents. Annualled in September with 0 porosity and it easily passed 30 lbs pull test. I just bought a $400 scoop new from Head, it came with a skirt. I am very impressed with this balloon, my reason for selling is I want a 105.

I am asking $5,500 for the envelope, I could make it a complete system with a Cameron basket or an Adams. This is a great balloon that needs a good home. It is perfect for banner work.

1989 Cameron V-77

1989 Cameron Viva 77. Envelope only. Has 197 hours on it. Goes through about 20 gallons of propane in an hour. Previous owner was very hard on this envelope but it still keeps passing annuals. Call me for (honest) details. This would be a great starter envelope for a student. Responds very well, just goes through fuel. The outer ring of panels have been replaced in the top cap. Envelope comes with a fresh annual. All pictures were taken in 2003. 

$1500 + shipping takes it.
