What's
in a Balloon?
The modern
hot air balloon is basically the same aircraft that the Montgolfier brothers
developed over 200 years ago. Our balloons consist of a rip-stop nylon envelope,
a wicker basket, a propane burner and flight instruments. Heated air inside
the envelope creates a lighter and less dense air mass which allows the balloon
to fly. When the balloon lifts free, wind dictates the direction and speed
of flight. The pilot can alter direction by simply changing altitude and finding
a favorable wind.
Flight
Schedule
Flights
can be scheduled any day of the week. Flights are either at sunrise or a few
hours before sunset. This always offers the most favorable flying conditions.
Our balloons carry 2 or 3 passengers at a time, but we can accommodate larger
groups. Your balloon adventure will last approximately 3 hours, with actual
flight time of about 1 hour, followed by a champagne picnic. Reservations
are required, but we will do our best to accommodate you on a short notice.
What
to wear and bring
We suggest
that you dress comfortably for outdoor activity and wear appropriate footwear
for walking in fields. Early mornings can be cool and damp and waterproof
shoes will add to your comfort. It is never any colder up in a balloon than
is the ground temperature. Dresses, shorts and sandals are not recommended.
You may want to bring your camera since ballooning is such a colorful and
visual experience.
