Lincoln Air balloon ridesAir balloon rides are all the rage in Lincoln, and you could enjoy this wonderful way to rise above the earth year-round. Even though numbers of people have never even been up close to a lighter than air craft, those who have flown aboard in one remember this wonderous experience forever!Air balloon rides can be had by anyone. Most flights last more or less an hour, but check with your ride company to find out what they offer. Sometimes they have different flights to select from.
Why can't I get a balloon ride in the middle of the day? Balloons fly early in the morning, right after sunrise and late in the day, right before sunset. This is when the wind is calmest since the sun is low in the sky. The wind is generally too unpredictable, with severe up-and down-drafts, during the middle of the day. It isn't safe to offer balloon rides when the wind is unstable.
As you search for Air balloon rides in Lincoln, understand that your flight can be rescheduled if weather is less than perfect. Don't expect to fly if it is poor visiblilty or unstable. Bring your camera and plenty of film, since you'll snap many more photographs than you require.

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.
