“State-of-the-art. Cutting-edge. Purpose-built downto

mance accomplishments, engineering,experience, innova-
tionandvalue.”
You maylikely read these same claims made byother
balloon manufacturers. These arelargeclaims,and they have
value.However,withalittle researchyou’lldiscoverthat
they apply fullyand completelyonlytoCameron—that is,
they’re justified. Moreover, there are no other better ways to
describe a Cameron other than to say it is a true “balloonist’s
balloon.” Why a “balloonist’s balloon?” Because Camerons
aredesignedandbuiltbytheindustry’slargestteamof
licensedpilots–whoalsohappentobeskilledaero-engi-
neers. In fact, Cameron’s two factory teamsare made up of
147 employees, 20 trained engineers,and 24 pilots with more
than 21,000+ hourslogged.

Cameron balloons are built on a foundation of superior
engineeringdesign—designsthataregeneratedand well
testedby the industry’s single largest and most comprehen-
Airworthiness Directive (product recall) issued against its
product. Fly a Cameron and you’ll experience many other
synergies that serve to maximize convenience, safety, and
performance.
The result? Whether you’re a recreational sport
pilot, serious competitor, or demanding commercial op-
erator, Camerons offer forgiving, unrestricting, and
overall superior performance.
