Hello and welcome to Phil's Balloons. My name is Phil Hooper,
I am 24 years of age and I live in Bristol, South West England. I have
had an interest in hot air ballooning for around 15 years and got involved
with the sport at the age of 13 - click here
to read how I got involved.
I started training to get my licence with the Bristol University Hot
Air Ballooning Society (BUHABS) back in 2006 but it was only in 2008
after I decided to buy my own hot air balloon that my training really
started to happen. I passed my flight exam on 29th March 2009 which
granted me my private pilots licence. I have flown many many times since
including taking part in the 2009 Bristol International Balloon Fiesta
as a pilot for the first time. In the first 6 months of gaining my licence
I have gained over 30 flying hours, and plan to do many many more in
the future.
Over the years I have been to many events throughout the UK and Europe
and have always had my camera with me! There are thousands of photos
to look through on this site, there are a few videos and some reports
on events as well. The photos are always being added to along with the
videos when I have time to put them together!
