From Hang Gliders to Hot Air Balloons: Felicity Cleggâs 30-Year Journey Above the Clouds
Some people choose a career. Others stumble into a calling.
For Felicity Clegg, South Africaâs pioneering Commercial Hot Air Balloon Pilot, the journey began with a hang-gliding school, a chance encounter with the âfather of hot air ballooningâ in South Africa, and the challenge of building her very first balloon in a workshop.
What started as a sport became a lifelong profession â blending adventure, craftsmanship, and teaching. Felicity has: đ Flown commercially across South Africa and beyond đ Participated in festivals and championships worldwide đ Founded her own balloon maintenance workshop in 2000 đ Trained the next generation of balloon pilots đĄ Innovated in model ballooning alongside her son
She has carried thousands of passengers across ancient landscapes like the Magaliesberg Valley, turning sunrise flights into unforgettable celebrations of life.
âBallooning is hard work â but for me, a balloon basket is home, and I wouldnât change it for anything.â
