Taitung seeks to recruit two hot-air balloon pilots

Want to fly? The Taitung County Government is recruiting two candidates for hot-air balloon pilot training.

The recruits will embark on training and exams in the U.S. early next year. Once they obtain international piloting licenses, their related costs and fees will be fully subsidized by the Taitung County Government.

Taitung County operates Taiwan's only two legal hot-air balloons. Officials yesterday announced plans to order more balloons in order to expand Taitung's Taiwan Balloon Festival for 2013.

The new balloons will need pilots, said officials. Registration for pilot hopefuls opens on Dec. 17. Candidates should be at least 20 years old and pass a medical examination.
