Our Pilot
Jack Semler has been involved in aviation his entire adult career. With over 35 years in the aviation industry, Jack’s love of ballooning came from his first balloon ride and date with his wife Lynn, 26 years ago. When Jack is not at the controls of the burner of Indy Hot Air’s balloon, “Silver Lining”, he flies as a Captain and instructor/examiner for a worldwide cargo airline, out of Memphis, Tennessee.
Jack enjoys taking people up for the first time, to show them how magical a balloon ride can be.
