Shiralee Colin has been flying balloons since 1989, she is one of the few female Commercial Balloon Pilots in the country.

Shiralee has flown in 10 different countries including the salt flats in Tunisia during the first ever balloon festival to take place there. Shiralee was the first female to fly over the border from Northern Ireland to Southern Ireland in 1995 towards the end of the difficult times that were being experienced in Ireland, she has also flown across the channel to France to raise funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital and is planning a similar crossing this October.

Shiralee started Skybus Ballooning in 1993 and the company has flown well over 10,000 people since then and is proud of a 100% safety record.
