History

Established in 1976.

Shane Douglas Cory, owner/​operator of Aerogelic Ballooning, is a third generation pilot; and second generation owner of one of the first commercial Hot Air Balloon Companies to emerge in Arizona in the mid 70’s.

Shane’s parents, Phillip & Angelica Cory, both commercial pilots, had their first hot air balloon «adventure» in 1973. Launching the Great Pumpkin, a New Mexico owned hot air balloon, in the desert behind their Mesa, AZ residence began a serendipitous journey that would later evolve into a family legacy. In 1974 Douglas Cory of Flagstaff, AZ was the first member of the Cory family and one of the first people in the State of Arizona to actually purchase a Hot Air Balloon. He is now the current owner of Northern Lights Balloon Expeditions of Sedona, Arizona.

Once Phil & Angelica Cory were struck with the magic of the sport they bought their first corporate hot air balloon «The Cory Bubble», [Cory Gasoline Stations, Inc.], which arrived on the day of Shane’s birth in 1976. Shane
