Westminster Air balloon ridesAir balloon rides are the thing in Westminster, and you can delight in this wonderous sport throughout the year. Regardless of the fact that most people have never even been up close to a lighter than air craft, those who have taken flight in one remember this spectacular experience for life!Air balloon rides can be experienced by all ages. Most charters last just about an hour, but check with your ride company to find out what is available. Occasionally they have different packages to buy from.
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!
