There are 4 x 10 gallon Aluminum tanks – 3 have tank
heaters (from a Cameron system). The
burner is a single Mirage system. A meticulous annual was done in July 2006 – all the hoses were
repaired / replaced in 2006 and some fabric re-sewn with correct TBW TSO’d seams. There are approximately 100 hours on the envelope – it is still
non-porous. This balloon loves to fly!
It has been flown less than 4 hours since last annual. |

Insulated, covered Onyx Flyer trailer holds the entire
system and keeps it from the elements –and is included in the purchase price. The trailer was bought new in 2000 and some
parts are still covered by warranty. It has a 2” ball. Also included are tether ropes and inflation
harness. This balloon was originally built to be used in TBW’s advertising – and indeed it can be seen in copies
of Balloonist from around 2000-2001. I originally bought it with 8 or
so hours on it at the It comes with a junky old 2-blade fan (It is cantankerous,
but it works). This
system is complete and ready to fly! I am asking $15,900
with the trailer. Contact: Charles
