Flights
Balloon flights
are typically flown in the first hour after sunrise or
within the remaining two hours of daylight before sunset.
During the day the air becomes much more active and it
becomes unsafe for a balloon flight. During the cooler
months it is possible to fly during the day because
convection currents are not as strong. An average balloon
flight lasts about an hour.
Q. How
should I dress?
A.
Balloons are flown in all seasons, so dress the way
you would for a short hike in the season you are flying;
if it is cool, dress warm if it is hot dress cool. Sensable
shoes are a must. Please no sandals or flip-flops.
The temperature during flight will be very close to
the temperature on the ground. A hat and sunglasses are also
good to bring along.
Q. Can I
bring a camera?
A.
Absolutely. Cameras and video cameras are
encouraged. A balloon fligt is one of the greatest
adventures you will ever have, and you will want to capture
it on film. For safety reasons we ask that any cameras you
bring be equipped with a neck strap. It is also a good idea
to bring a small camera case. All devices must be
stowed away before landing.
