 Profile
Hello, my name is Tom Robins,
I'm your pilot !
I was born Philadelphia PA, and started my fascination with flight when I was 8, building model hot air balloons that I flew over my neighborhood. I received my first fixed wing airplane instruction at 16, found my passion for ballooning in the early eighties and have been flying hot air balloons for over 20 years ! I have provided thousands of delighted people their first experience of balloon flight.
I have launched my balloon from the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum flying through the City of Philadelphia.
I have flown up the Hudson past the Statue of Liberty and landing in New York’s Central Park.
I have designed, built and hold a US patent on a balloon glow burner system used in my night time balloon show entitled "Balloomination".
I am an FAA certified inspector, authorized to perform safety inspections and maintenance procedures on hot air balloons.
