DOUG ROBERTSON
BALLOONMEISTER
CANDY CORN
Doug Robertson lives in Bowling Green, KY. He is an aviator. In 1981, he
got his pilot’s license before he got his driver’s license. After flying airplanes
for 14 years, in 1994 he took his first flight in a hot air balloon. That day
changed his view of aviation forever. “There is nothing like it”, Robertson said, “you
have a 360-degree view and it’s as peaceful in the air as it looks from the ground”.
Doug has been a commercial hot air balloon pilot since 2004. He has flown over
800 flights and thousands of passengers with a 100% safety record. He has a hot
air balloon tour business in Bowling Green, eHotAir.com. He flies whenever the
weather will allow. His son attends the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, so his
family is “all in” for the Vols. Doug has flown and attended festivals all over the USA
and in Canada. He trained in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the capital city of US
Ballooning and has participated in that event which is the largest in the country,
over 550 balloons.
Doug shares his life with his co-pilot, Kim Richards. They met eleven years ago
at a balloon event. They both enjoy flying and meeting new people around this
wonderful hobby of sport ballooning. Doug is a medical sales professional outside
the world of ballooning. However, most of his weekends in the summer are spent
introducing new passengers to his larger than life world.
