Frequently Asked Questions:

How is our pilot qualified?

Our pilots are FAA licensed commercial pilots rated for hot air balloons. All of our pilots have at least ten years experience in hot air balloons and are individually registered with our insurance company.

Where do we go on our "balloon tour"?

We don't actually do a tour. A Hot Air Balloon is literally a "bubble in the wind." We go where the wind takes us. The pilot has control over altitude and will fly up or down seeking winds that will take us where we want to go.

How do we get back?

Our support crew will follow our flight in our chase vehicle and meet us where we land. We will then pack up the balloon and return to the launch site in the chase vehicle.

What should we wear?

Wear natural fabrics like cotton. Nylon warm up suits are susceptible to heat damage and can be hazardous around fire. Dress like you'll be working in the yard or walking around in a field. Good shoes such as hiking boots or tennis shoes are a must. No sandals please. Most of our flights are done in the morning at sunrise. It can be very cool when we arrive but once the sun comes up, the air warms quickly. Dress in layers so you can peel off jackets, etc. and stay comfortable.

Can we take pictures?

ABSOLUTELY!! Make sure you bring your camera and take as many pictures as you like to help you remember your flight.

How long will it take?

Most flights last about an hour. This may vary slightly due to availability of landing sites or unexpected changes in the weather.
