World and six-time U.S. national hot air balloon champion Bruce Comstock also set world balloon records for duration, distance, and altitude. As president of the Balloon Federation of America and editor of Ballooning magazine in the 1970s, he helped guide the early development of the sport. He later built a major balloon manufacturing company, and designed and built the autopilot that made possible a solo balloon flight around the world. Always looking to push limits, Bruce on one flight flew in an open basket to over 30,000 feet, on another eked out 645 miles on the fuel normally used for a local pleasure flight, and on yet another cruised more than 1500 miles from Colorado to Pennsylvania. It is no surprise that he is in both the international and U.S. ballooning halls of fame. A Life in the Air tells his story.
