Jack & Becky Neal

Wichita, Kansas


Rainbow Rider

Jack and Becky began crewing for Don Sprieir, Mitzi Hall, and Ron Irvin in the Wichita area in 1988 and enjoyed it so much that they bought 'Rainbow Rider' in 1990.  By 1995 they had worn out the 'Eagle' brand envelope and replaced it with a new 'Galaxy' envelope from 'The Balloon Works' with the same design.

Ballooning has introduced them to many good friends over the years, and they continue enjoying the sport of hot air ballooning with the help of friends, a fantastic crew, their sons Jeremy and Jason and his wife Kim, and of course, their grandchildren Jarrett, Kaylee, and Jett.

Jack spent a great deal of time with his feet on the ground because of back problems, but DOPPS CHIROPRACTIC helped to get his head back in the clouds.  Rainbow Rider can often be seen flying with a DOPPS banner as seen in the video below.

 

A short video of Rainbow Rider skimming across the surface of Lake Shawnee can be seen HERE.

Jack and Becky's profile page can be found in the Member's Area, and they enjoy sharing photos of their adventures, some of which you can find in the GPBC Picasa AlbumAeroPhotos, and Wunderphotos.
