At this time in 1959, there were only two balloon clubs in the United States. The Balloon Club of America (BCA) of Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, which had been flying gas balloons since 1952. The National Lighter-than-Air (NLTA), incorporated in 1956 as a separate balloon flying organization affiliated with the Wingfoot Lighter-Than Air Society of Akron, Ohio. The balloonists from Akron would arrive at the field on Friday night with their balloons - usually two balloons. They would sleep in their cars on the field until it was time to begin the inflation process. Pilots from NLTA were usually Jim Contos and Roger Wolcott.
