Air balloon flights are fashionable in Westminster, and you may delight in this exciting avocation year around. While numbers of people have never even been up close to a balloon, those who have flown aboard in one remember this outstanding experience forever!

A hot air balloon has three major parts: the envelope, the burner, and the basket.

How do you steer a balloon?

Balloons simply float with the wind. The pilot can control the balloon's altitude to find a wind going in the desired direction, but you cannot fly upwind or crosswind.

Preflight planning insures the pilot knows which way the balloon will be traveling, and the pilot makes sure there are plenty of suitable landing sites downwind. You'll be amazed how the pilot is able to steer the balloon during your balloon ride!

As you search for Air balloon flights in Westminster, keep in mind that your ride could be rescheduled if conditions are not appropriate. Don't expect to fly if it is windy or unstable. Bring your camera and lots of film, because you'll snap many more snapshots than you require.
