  • GEBA Membership Eligibility
    Membership in GEBA is open to individuals who have an interest in ballooning.  It is not necessary to be a pilot, balloon owner, or be an active crew member.  Many of our present members simply enjoy ballooning.  Through GEBA membership, they are kept informed about issues and events in the ballooning community, thus enabling them to continue their enjoyment.

  • Geographic Area
    GEBA primarily attracts members from NJ and eastern PA.  However, we do have members from NY, VT, NH, MA, CT, RI, DE, CO and VA.
