Anthony Sandlin

In addition to selling Real Estate, Tony owns and is the chief pilot at Midwest Balloon Rides Owner. Tony started ballooning in 1989 after a friend saw an ad offering free rides for volunteer crew. He found a niche hobby he could turn into a fun business. He has participated in hot air balloon events across the United States, as well as in Canada, Mexico and the Middle East. He regularly participates as one of only a few commercial pilots that give passenger rides at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, an annual gathering of more than 600 hot air balloons.
