Each flight is custom tailored to the
weather conditions of the day by our experienced pilots. We
schedule our flights just after sunrise seven days a week,
year-round. We prefer to fly at daybreak because the morning
winds are generally the calmest of the day, the wildlife is
most often seen, and besides there is no better way to start
the day! During the summer months and in early fall we’re
often able to get an impromptu flight in a couples hours
before sunset Our flights average just over an hour in
duration during which time we’ll travel anywhere from 2 to
15 miles depending on the wind speed and directions we
encounter flying at various altitudes. During the flight the
pilot will vary the balloons’ altitude from tree top level,
a height that allows one to reach out and commune with
nature, to heights of several thousand feet, where one may
look out in a visual sweep, and see much of southern New
England. Whatever the altitude, lighter-than-air-flight
offers a truly unique flying experience.
Spring and summer flights are abound with a luscious green
carpeting on the hills and in the valleys of New England.
Fall foliage in Litchfield is renown from ground level.
Imagine observing the vibrancy of autumn from aloft? Winter
flights offer the uninhibited views of the landscape and
wildlife. Every season offers a special uniqueness and
beauty, which makes flying in a balloon a perfect year-round
endeavor.
