Book your balloon ride for 2004!
Will this be the year that you finally decide to slip the surly bonds of earth, join the ranks of intrepid aeronauts and experience the bliss of lighter than air flight?
Ballooning is such a unique and beautiful experience that words cannot fully describe the feeling. It truly must be lived to be appreciated. Each flight is different yet as exciting as your first. "One of the greatest satisfactions for me as a pilot is seeing the looks on the faces of first time passengers and then listening to them describe the flight to their friends after we land."
With insurance costs skyrocketing, this may be the last year that we can keep the cost of a balloon ride below $200. Most pilots in the area have already been forced to raise their prices well above that figure. To get the flight time you want reserve your ride early! You'll get a price break if you book now. All prepaid rides can be rescheduled and are fully refundable in the event of bad weather.

The balloons can carry 2 to 5 people and the flights are about an hour of air time in the morning, slightly less on the afternoon flights.
Launches are at 6am and 6pm starting with Friday afternoon and running through the Sunday evening flight.
The winds are the calmest and safest in the first and last 2 hours of the day.
Plan on being at the ride booth at least an hour before flight time. Traffic can be bad in the afternoons so allow yourself plenty of time.
Balloons usually do not fly and are rarely able to inflate for tethered operations at midday because of thermal instability due to the sun's heating. Gusty and unpredictable wind conditions are often encountered then. However, sometimes the weather does cooperate - in those cases tethered balloon rides will be available.
