Before Your Flight

• All Flights are weather permitting!

• Weather needed for hot air balloon operations – Calm winds generally less that 7-10 mph, clear skies free of rain or other precipitation within 50 miles. Balloons generally operate at sunrise or 1-2 hours before sunset, this is when the winds are usually calm and most predictable.

• The timeframe is not negotiable. Sunrise and sunset are at specific times each day, and we must fly within the window of daylight.

• Wear comfortable shoes. We prefer that you wear sneakers or hiking boots. Sandals will not protect your feet. We take off and land in open pastures and areas of un-kept land. This is an outdoor event.

• For planning purposes, we need to know the passenger weight if you are over 250 lbs.

• This is a rigorous activity. We are unable to fly passengers who are pregnant or have knee or hip issues that drastically limit mobility.

• Please let your pilot know of any other serious medical conditions that may affect the flight.
