KAMAS — Maneuvering a hot air balloon is no simple task. And while Kimberly Whiteman pilots balloons for a living, she's also hoping to win the Women's World Hot Air Balloon Championship in Australia.
"The balloon is, kind of, you know, obviously a thank you to grandpa, but also just a respected memorial to them," Taylor said. The flights are difficult, Whiteman noted, especially as the smoothness of each flight depends on the landscape and weather conditions. Despite the difficulty, she still loves the sport.
After decades of flying, Whiteman decided to start competing, beginning small, with local competitions in Reno, Nevada. Competing in the Women's National Hot Air Balloon Championship in July, Whiteman said, was like practice for competing in the world championship, where it will be as much about focus as it will be about speed.
