Our History and People:
Â
Balloons Unlimited was formed in 1978 by Pete Asp with a partner. It flew its first fare-paying passengers in 1979. It was incorporated in 1982 as Balloons Unlimited of Wisconsin, Inc. In 1985, Pete assumed full ownership of the corporation.
A balloon repair station was added in 1984. In 1989. operations were moved to Sullivan. This location allowed all flight operations to be conducted from our own launch site. This greatly simplified the logistics involved in getting passengers, crew, pilot and equipment together for each flight. The repair station was separated from the passenger flight business and incorporated as Wisconsin Aerostation, Ltd. in 1994.
