Sally Mazzocchi

Sally Mazzocchi is a part of The Flying Mazzocchis which includes her father, Nick, also a balloon pilot, and her mother, Sherrie. She took her first balloon ride when she was 10 years old with a friend of her father’s. Just four years later, her dad decided to get back into the sport after a 20 year hiatus and bought his second balloon. Sally quickly fell in love with ballooning, hopping into the basket whenever she was given the opportunity. In 2004 she received her private pilot's license and in 2007, her commercial license. Following a brief stint living and flying balloons in Maryland, Sally has now returned home and flies in Hunterdon County, NJ.

Sally has flown throughout the United States and in Canada as well as China. Sally is a member of the Balloon Federation of America and serves as a board member on the Great Eastern Balloon Association.
