Crown Line Crush
Where Balloon Enthusiasts Find Their Perfect Co-Pilot
Finding love is hard enough - finding someone who understands your passion for ballooning is even harder. We connect pilots and crew who share the same sunrise schedule and sky-high dreams.
Tired of Dating Non-Balloonists?
It takes a special kind of person to fall in love with a balloonist.
We wake up at ungodly hours. We chase the wind. We obsess over weather apps.
And not everyone understands the thrill of hearing "PIBAL is favorable."
That's why Crown Line Crush was created. To help you find someone who gets it — the propane, the passion, the packing up in a field after your third glow of the weekend.
Because love is better at altitude.
🌅 The Early Bird Dilemma
"You want me to wake up at 4:30 AM... AGAIN?" - Every non-ballooning date ever
☀️ Fair Weather Friends
When perfect flying conditions mean canceling brunch plans... for the third time
💰 Equipment Understanding
Try explaining why you need another $5,000 for balloon equipment to someone who doesn't get it
🌧️ Weather Woes
They'll never understand why you're grumpy when the forecast ruins your flying plans
🏨 Festival Loneliness
Another beautiful sunset at a balloon festival, but no one to share your hotel room or stories with
😴 Nap Schedule
Someone who gets why you need that mid-day nap between morning flight and evening glow
Why Crown Line Crush?
🎈 Shared Passions
Connect with people who understand your love for the sport and the lifestyle it brings
🥂 Post-Flight Romance
Find someone to share that traditional champagne toast with after a beautiful morning flight
✈️ Travel Together
No more solo hotel rooms at balloon festivals - find your perfect travel companion
🕓 They Understand the Hours
Love isn't easy when your mornings start before sunrise and you're packing up a basket before most people have had coffee. Find love that knows your schedule isn't typical — and someone who doesn't mind a 4:30 a.m. date… as long as it ends with a second breakfast.
🎈 They Speak Balloon
You don't need to explain what a crown line is, or why someone asking "what time are they going to blow these things up?" gives you the ick. Be with someone who knows the difference between cold inflation and going hot — and they'll never ask you if you've "ever thought about skydiving from one of those things."
💛 We're a Community First
This isn't just about swiping — it's about belonging. Ballooning is built on trust, teamwork, and shared adventure. That's what we're about too. Whether you're searching for your co-pilot or just someone who understands the thrill of lift-off, you'll find connection here.
🎈 Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta Singles Meetup
Find your Fiesta Fling — right on the launch field.
Join us for an exclusive mix & mingle event for ballooning singles.
We'll be gathering on the Balloon Field at Space B1, right after the morning flight.
- 📍 When: Monday & Friday morning, post-flight
- 📍 Where: Balloon Field – Space B1
- 📍 What: Light refreshments, low-pressure vibes, and maybe a spark or two
Because if you're going to fall for someone… what better place than the largest balloon event in the world?
🧠 Balloon Compatibility Test
Let love take flight — the algorithm will handle the winds.
When you join Crown Line Crush, the first step is taking our signature Balloon Compatibility Test. Designed by balloonists, for balloonists, this quiz helps our algorithm understand who you are both on the ground and in the sky.
Whether you're a sunrise romantic or a sunset chaser, your answers help us match you with someone who lifts you up — literally and emotionally. Because finding love in the ballooning world isn't easy… but we're here to make it a little less turbulent.
Take the test. Trust the wind. Love might just be one flame away.
Sample Questions You'll See:
- Pilot or chase crew - what's your ideal role when ballooning?
- What's your reaction to a 4 a.m. pilot briefing?
- Do you believe in love at first inflation?
- How do you handle wind shifts (emotionally and in flight)?
