Aurora Air balloon ridesAir balloon rides are very big in Aurora, and you may delight in this fun sport year-round. While most people have never even been up close to a lighter than air craft, those who have taken off in one remember this terrific experience for a long time!Air balloon rides can be had by all ages. Most excursions last nearly an hour, but check with the pilot to find out what's available. Occasionally they have different trips to buy from.
What should you wear during your flight? Ballooning is not a formal occasion, so heals, dresses and suits are not appropriate. Dress like you would for an outdoor hike. Comfortable shoes (no open-toed shoes or sandals, please), long pants and layered clothing during the cooler months are recommended. Balloons don't normally land at airports, so you'll probably be standing in an open field after landing. Dress appropriately for the area of the country you're flying in. Be sure to check with the company you are flying with for their clothing rules.
As you search for Air balloon rides in Aurora, keep in mind that your ride may be rescheduled if weather is less than perfect. Don't expect to fly if it is poor visiblilty or raining. Bring your camera and lots of film, because you'll snap many more snap shots than you expect.

The pilot heats the air in the balloon to rise, and lets the air cool to descend. An experienced pilot has absolute control over the balloon's altitude, but can't turn against the wind. The pilot steers the ballon by finding different air currents that are moving in the direction he wants to fly.
