🎈 Meet Pilot Derek Hancock & Evergreen 🎈

For Derek Hancock, ballooning started as a simple curiosity… and turned into a lifelong adventure that’s taken him around the world. After crewing for a friend in the mid-90s, one flight was all it took — he was hooked. Instead of moving to Phoenix for a corporate job, Derek made a bold choice that changed everything: he took the layoff package, bought a balloon, and never looked back. ✨

What followed has been an incredible career in the skies — flying since 1996, logging over 3,500 flight hours, and piloting balloons in more than 16 countries around the world. 🌍🎈

And now, Derek and Evergreen return to Tigard once again as part of the festival family! 🎉

🎈 Balloon: Evergreen
🔥 180,000 cubic feet
🔥 70 gallons of propane
🔥 2 burners
🎈 3,541 LTA flight hours
🎉 5th year at TFOB
❤️ Wife: Maureen

🌅 Want to take your festival experience to the next level? Evergreen is also offering paid passenger rides all weekend through Rose Balloons — giving guests the chance to float above Tigard and experience the magic firsthand. 🎈✨

As we continue Growing Our Legacy, Derek’s story is a reminder that sometimes the biggest life changes come from the smallest moments — like that first flight.

Come see Derek Hancock and Evergreen soar June 26–28 at the Tigard Festival of Balloons! 🎈✨

🎈 Meet Pilot Justin Anderson & Sea Breeze 🎈

What started as a curious kid watching balloons drift across the Walla Walla skies turned into a lifelong dream taking flight. Since first joining balloon crews in 1998, Justin Anderson spent more than TWO decades learning the art of ballooning before officially becoming a pilot in 2024. Now, he’s bringing that same excitement and inspiration to communities across the Pacific Northwest — just like the pilots who inspired him years ago. ✨

And this year marks a huge milestone… it’s Justin and Sea Breeze’s FIRST appearance at the Tigard Festival of Balloons! 🎉

🎈 Balloon: Sea Breeze
🔥 90,000 cubic feet

Today, Raphy flies more than 100 flights a year and has already logged around 600 hours in the air! 🎈🔥

And this year marks an exciting milestone — it’s Raphy and Daybreak’s FIRST appearance at the Tigard Festival of Balloons! 🎉
