Logan County stands for,” Good-
man said. “I love seeing the smiling
faces as I fly overhead and being
asked questions regarding the sport
of hot air ballooning.”
When asked why he flies, Goodman
answered: “The thrill, and also to
see the world from another angle.
It’s just another way to make the
world smile, one person at a time!”
Currently the local balloon festival
is the only one Goodman partici-
pates in, but he says that he hopes
to change that in the near future,
as he and Done Deal will look for
other places to go, with the hopes of
being a part of bringing more smil-
ing faces to the world below.

For Seth Goodman, it’s a Done Deal!
eth Goodman of Lincoln will be piloting a new balloon this year,
named Done Deal.
As a well-known real estate agent in Logan County, Goodman
said he named his balloon Done Deal because it relates directly
to his line of work, as he loves being able to say “done deal”
when he puts a family in a new home.
S
Done Deal was manufactured in
December of 2012 according to
Goodman’s specifications. He said
the new balloon is basically the
same size as his old one, Movin’
Up.
Movin’ Up, he said, was purchased
when he began flying three years

was always his goal to keep Movin
Up while he was in training and
then buy a new one when he re-
ceived his private pilot’s license,
which he accomplished last year.
Goodman will participate in the
launches and glows, as well as the
Saturday morning fly-in. During
the fly-in, pilots will toss a bean-
bag from the sky to a target on the
ground at the Logan County Air-
port. Each year it is interesting to
watch the pilots as they fly over and
attempt to hit the target.
Asked if he had a strategy for hit-
ting the target, Goodman said, “Just
hope winds take me where I need to
go!”
Goodman said he loves the festival
and looks forward to it each year.
“It showcases what my community
is capable of and truly shows what
