No, I don't have the money for that. I got a free ride on one Saturday morning. Crewing isn't much different than putting up and taking down tents, so I lent a hand before and after our ride.
I crewed for a free ride in the desert outside of Phoenix. Had a nice flight over the desert, got to pilot it for a while. After landing we packed it up and headed back to the airport to set up for the paying customers. I was a ground ***** and chaser on that flight. That was pretty fun driving through the desert chasing the balloon.
