Sundquist 200 in- a formed his passengers reporter, and a considerably-talleDr Tom Sorensen. an Orem dentist. "Your first ride in a balloon is free." said Sundquist in a solemn voice. "The next one costs vou well" Advice from a man whose aeronautic attire that day consisted of a jumpsuit 'complete with purple balloons embroidered on the sleeves and a cap sporting chest pocket numerous pins, buttons, and various other dangling decorations, and a pair of dark, mystenous-lookmshades. Sundquist, who is widely known for his "character." was just one of the 17 participating hot air balloonists at America s Freedom Festival at Provo last week The pilots, all of whom must hold a private or commercial license issued by the Federal FAA . Aviation Administration were excited to be in Utah and said the mountain range edging Provo's boundaries made for some gorgeous scenery. "It's a wonderful morning to fly," enthused Sundquist as he let another hissing burst of flame shoot into the balloon's envelope. Fueled by propane gas, hot air balloons are unique in several ways. Passengers trust themselves to a triangular basket, which is surprisingly sturdy. They're made of exotic materials; wicker from lilac-colore- d J15.000." Addiction's are never cheap. Trust me. Once you fly in a hot air balloon there s this nagging, g pulling feeling you have to go up again. Just onre more. Hot air balloons seem to possess their own fascinating personality. Colors range from the most lively lemon yellows, radiant reds, shocking crisp whites, glowing greens, magnifithe spectrum is cent violets unbelievably expansive. Getting a balloon ready to fly takes the strength of about five people. The envelope is carefully unrolled from its pack, stretched out to its full length, and the basket is hooked on with 13 steel cable wires. "These cables are very sphot-pink- s, t 1! w I. Several bands are needed to control the balloon while it is inflated. Passengers ride in the triangular basket. inspected by the FAA to be sure While we were busy trying not to giggle, someone tossed dry grass on our heads, and Charlie poured extra juice on top of it all as he read a Irish balloon poem. they're safe." At the apex of the balloon's envelope is a long cord, which is also stretched out to its fullest length. One person hangs on to the end of that cord so the balloon will property inflate once hot air is forced into its cavity. An oversized fan is set up at the other end. and once everything is set. the fan is turned on and begins blowing up the bal- ecial." said Sundquist as he slipped one. of them on the basket. ".Any one ot these can hold up a basket, and they're carefully r "The Winds have welcomed you with softness. The Sun has blessed you with his warm hands. You have flown so high and so well, that God has joined you in your laughter. And He has set you gently back again into the loving arms of Mother Earth." It's only been a week since I was carried so effortlessly into the sky. I want to go again. V loon. I : ' ft " iv : fesss : !' The secret of flying a hot air balloon is in the wind, said Sundquist. "That's the skill of the sport." he said softly. "You have to be able to read the wind." A pilot of fixed aircraft since 1950. Sundquist has been flying hot air balloons for eight years. " From the time you start initiating your flight, you start plotting your landing spot." he said. Floating gracefully over a Brigham Young University housing complex. Sundquist peered over his shoulder at a baseball diamond. You could just hear the scheme churning in the man's brain. 'Tm going to land on first base." was the first remark. "Don't worry." he continued, it 11 just be a little jolt. Bend your knees. Stay loose. "Here we go!" And down we came. Almost as smoothly as we took off. and right on first base. After our group rolled the balloon back into its bag. and loaded everything onto a trailer. Sundquist informed me I couldn't leave until I was properly "initiated." Having spent a considerable amount of time with this man in a small basket under a in the balloon about 2.000-feI was understandably wary air of what this "initiation" was ail about. Well.
