Joliet Air balloon flights

Air balloon flights are very popular in Joliet, and you could enjoy this wonderous pastime throughout the year. Regardless of the fact that several people have never even been up close to a hot air balloon, those who have floated away in one remember this outstanding experience for a long time!

Air balloon flights can be enjoyed by anyone. Most charters last around an hour, but check with your ride company to find out what's available. They might have different offerings to buy from.

Passengers ride in wicker baskets, which protect the occupants and are lightweight and flexible.

Do you need a license to fly a balloon?

Yes.
A Balloon Pilot Certificate is issued by the Federal Aviation Administration in the USA. You must pass an FAA written exam, obtain a prescribed number of hours of instruction, make a solo flight, a flight to a specific altitude and pass a flight test.

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 search for Air balloon flights in Joliet, realize that your ride will be rescheduled if conditions are bad. Don't expect to fly if it is unstable or too cold. Bring your camera and plenty of film, since you'll snap many more snap shots than you require.
