Twenty-fouryearsofconstantengineeringresearch,

durability, performance and customer satisfaction.
How do youbuild the best? YOU START WITH THE
BEST!IncorporatedintoeveryFantasyBalloonareparts
andmaterialssourcedfromallovertheU.S.A.,Canada,
Sweden,HongKong,Russia,England,Austria,Italyand
Argentina.Whileperfectionmaybeunobtainableweare
relentlessinour quest.
A common misconception amongst pilots shopping for
a new balloon is that design innovation can only come from
thebigmanufacturingcompanies.Thisisnotalwaysthe
case.Someofourmorenoteworthydesigninnovations
includingourcomposite FLEX-FRAME gondola,ourex-
clusive “F-TYPE” envelope and our“ONE IS MORE THAN
ENOUGH SINGLE BURNER TECHNOLOGY”have re-
centlybeenre-introducedbyourcompetition!!Weare
flattered and hope youare dulyimpressed!
A recent example of such technology is the FANTASY
“FX/2” BURNER.
At the heart of this new system is a 56 JET main burner
ringwithinterchangeablejettingforprogrammedperfor-
manceatvariousaltitudesA.S.L.Twinmultijetby-pass
burners augment main burner power or allow for convenient
access to near silent running. Measured output at a standard
100p.s.i. is 14million B.T.U. (22 millionat 240p.s.i.). All

placing power and performance conveniently at your finger-
tips.

significantly reducesnoisecausingturbulence while com-
fortably shielding your passengers from radiant heat. A fully
adjustablequickshut-offpilotlightandredundanthigh

the package. Dual burner versions are naturally available.
Theexclusive“F-TYPE”envelope,now availablein
six sizes is the strongest envelope construction in the world!
HOW CAN WE SAY THAT? Besides verging upon math-
ematical perfection, our design incorporatesatleast1,500
feet more seams than our competition’s best. SEAMS STOP
TEARS! The largest open expanse of fabric in our envelopes
is53" X61", notmuchroomfora tear topropagate.The
gores are slightly bulbous and flexible keeping fabric stress
to a minimum yet smooth enough to allow the application of
large and effective artwork.
Gondola configurations,(whetheryouchoose an“F-
TYPE”,“E-TYPE”orMirageSeries)followtheclassic
Fantasy traditiontosimplifythe flyingexperience: instru-
mentation communicates flight information at a glance. The
rich leather you would expect to find in a Fantasy is ofcourse
present in generous proportions. Individual taste is reflected

Fantasy’s are exactlyalike.
A recent bonus for balloon buyers has been the crash of
theCanadiandollar, at69¢it isalmost worthlessandasa
result there are some very good deals to be made at Fantasy
withautomatic discounts of 10to15 percent!

If you have been intrigued by what you have seen, we
invite you to call us for the name of the dealer nearest you.
A completely new experience awaits.
