Team Bios
Barry DiLibero- Pilot of America One & Flighthouse

Co-Owner of America One, Patriot and Flighthouse.

Barry has been flying balloons since 1991 and has several business interests in Pennsylvania.

Barry started out with fixed wing planes and ended up loving balloons. He has been flying lighter than air ever since.

 

 

     

  Teri DiLibero

Co-Owner of America One, Patriot & Flighthouse.

Teri does all of the photography, and web site work for the team. She is also the one you need to go to to try to score a pin... Good luck, she is pretty tough.

When not ballooning Teri is now looking for the right career choice. While looking for the right thing to do, she owns a screen printing company and if you are really nice she will make you a sign. Her previous business was a sign company.
