Berkeley Air balloon flightsAir balloon flights are the rage in Berkeley, and you could revel in this spectacular activity when the weather is good. Even though most people have never even been up close to a lighter than air craft, those who have flown aboard in one remember this fantastic experience the rest of their life!Air balloon flights can be experienced by everyone. Most adventures last close to an hour, but check with the tour company to find out your options. They often have different trips to select from.
Do you need a license to fly a balloon? Yes. A pilot offering balloon rides (flying passengers for hire) must receive additional training and have more experience than a private pilot. You don't have to be able to fly an airplane since it is a completely different type of aircraft, although many balloon pilots also fly other types of aircraft like airplanes and helicopters.
As you look for Air balloon flights in Berkeley, understand that your flight will be rescheduled if weather is not appropriate. Don't expect to fly if it is windy or unstable. Bring your camera and lots of film, since you'll snap many more pics than you expect.

A balloon team is often a family affair. Crew people come in all shapes and sizes: singles, married, and entire families can be found. Pick any combination of these types of folks, and they are here too. There are crew people ranging from new born babies, to folks well into their 80's still enjoying the sport. The only special skill needed for the balloon ground crew is a willingness to learn and ask questions. Some tasks require a fair amount of physical strength, but don't worry, there are even more tasks that do not.
