Our Equipment:
 We would like to clarify some of the misconceptions on the Internet. There are two types of balloon systems. There are Sport Balloons and Ride Balloons. We are in the Balloon Ride business and therefore we fly Ride Balloons specifically engineered for passenger safety and comfort. We have balloons that will hold two to four passengers as well as balloons that will hold up to six. Our larger balloon baskets are partitioned for your safety in the event of a windy landing. The pilot also has a separate compartment with the fuel system for an additional measure of safety.
We pride ourselves in the quality of our equipment.
Our pilots are knowledgeable of the area and enjoy being your tour guide aloft.
Don't hesitate to ask questions and point out wildlife as we sail along.
We want everyone to have a memorable experience.
What to Wear:
- Dress for the surface temperatures of the day. At the altitudes we fly at the temperatures are only a few degrees different.
- Layers are best so you may adjust as the day warms.
- Sneakers or closed toed shoes with rubber soles are best. At the launch or landing site we may encounter tall grass and morning dew is common. A change of socks or shoes may be a good idea if you are heading out directly after your flight.
- We recommend a camera or video recorder with a wrist or neck - strap for safety reasons. A soft case for your camera or video equipment would be a good idea so that you may stow your equipment prior to landing.
- Please limit what you bring with you in the balloon, as we cannot be responsible for damaged or lost belongings.
- Purses and personal belonging may be left in the chase vehicle or locked in your vehicle before we depart the meeting site.
