2010 Celebrates 50 Years of the Modern Hot Air Balloon.
Because of this, the Sioux Falls Ballooning Association is in the process of manufacturing a replica of the original modern hot air balloon built by Raven Industries in 1960.

The completion of the replica is anticipated by June 2010. This replica could be available for your organization or event to display.


Some of the components of  the original are in existence and have been obtained by our organization for use in re-creating thsi balloon system. However, many components and materials still need to be built and purchased.


In order to complete and maintain this aggressive project, we need monetary contributions. All donors will be recognized as part of a permanent display.
