Hot Air Balloons - Troy Bradley

🦁It all started in the Serengeti (01:35)One of the best things about travel is that it exposes you to countless new experiences, broadening your life beyond the day-to-day and opening you up for connections you wouldn’t have found otherwise. One sunrise excursion on the Serengeti showed us something truly adventurous – leaving us yearning to learn more and adding to our travel bucket list.💺 Seat Pocket - What design would you pick for your hot air balloon? (05:52)It’s not all about looks, but maybe it is in this week’s Seat Pocket segment. As our experience with ballooning leaves something to be desired, one area we feel confident discussing: the designs we would choose for our own (hypothetical) hot air balloons. We’ve debated the best-wrapped airplanes, so it only feels right that we expand our design debates to a different bird of the sky – balloons.🎈 Aviation Legend & Ballooning Pioneer - Troy Bradley (10:28)Then we welcome Troy Bradley, a highly decorated balloon pilot holding over 60 records, Chief Pilot of the Rainbow Ryders, the true definition of an adventurer. Troy takes us to new heights as he walks through his most memorable and impressive balloon flights, breaks down the various types of balloons, what goes into long-haul flights, plus what it was like to come from a family of balloon pilots, and carry on the tradition. It’s more than just a hobby or career, it’s a lifestyle of passion, perseverance, and determination.🪁 Living a Life of Adventure (46:00)Some of us spend our days stuck in the confines of a desk, dreaming of our next escape. Meanwhile, there are some of us who truly live a life of adventure, breaking the mold and following our dreams wholeheartedly. Whatever it may be, we hope you have the courage to find your happiness and hold on to it. Buckle up and join us on this journey Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
