Meet Our Owner & Pilot
Jake Frame, 10+ years Commercial Pilot
Jake was born into ballooning! From his earliest memories, he was surrounded by balloons and balloon pilots. He quickly became part of crews and then earned his private pilot license at age 16. By age 19 he earned his commercial license and has flown nearly every flyable day for the past 10 years.
Flying for over 10 years in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania (and across the world), Jake, his wife Caroline, and his part of his crew fly the Arizona skies from November thru March.
As snowbirds from Pennsylvania, Jake and his crew love the desert-scapes and big skies for which Arizona is famous. But most importantly, the whole Snowbird Balloon Team will work hard to give every passenger the experience of a lifetime!
