Where Do We Meet? Launch sites vary from day to day
depending on wind conditions. We notify you of the launch site an hour before
flight time. A ride to the launch site can be provided for $10.00 round
trip.
What Should We Wear? Comfortable outdoor clothing is
strongly recommended. Long pants and a light jacket are optimum. Don't forget
your camera (although we'll be making flight pictures and posting them on
this site very soon).
Is It Safe? You bet! Hot air ballooning is one of the
safest forms of flight and Sam, our chief pilot, has more than 19 years
of experience. Our equipment is inspected regularly to insure that it remains
in perfect working order. And, of course, our equipment and pilots are all
certified by the Federal Aviation Administration.
What Can We Expect? Upon arrival at our launch site
you can observe and photograph the inflation of your colorful aircraft.
If you're a hands on kind of person you're welcome to help inflate one of
our two 106,000 cubic-foot balloons.
Once the envelope is full, the pilot will use the balloon's propane burner
to heat the air inside until, standing 7-8 stories tall, you're on your
way to enjoying history's oldest, gentlest form of aviation!
When you're in the basket, you'll find there's plenty of room for a comfortable
flight. You may not even realize you're airborne until you look down. There's
no feeling of movement as you travel with the wind, usually at a brisk walking
space.
As you drift over the Tanana Valley be sure to watch for moose and
other northern animals. Drink in the dazzling array of wildflowers, crystal
rivers and majestic Mount McKinley, North America's tallest mountain!
