Aerostar RXS8 Balloons

This website's goal is to show pictures of as many Aerostar RXS8 balloons as I can find.
If you would like yours added, please send a picture to me:
ksproul@skychariot.com

Spedcial thanks to Alyssa Brown at Balloonacy Limited.
She has put a lot of effort into putting many Aerostar balloons pictures up on FaceBook in the Raven/Aerostar group.
All of the Design Sheets and Factory Inflation pictures came from her.

for there you have been and there you will long to return."
- Leonardo da Vinci

"It is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and skill."

But if you change your altitude, you can go a different direction"
- Bertrand Piccard

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away."
- Will Smith

"A jack of all trades is a master of none,
but oftentimes better than a master of one."
