Birmingham Ballon flights

Ballon flights are plentiful in Birmingham, and you can delight in this spectacular avocation now. Regardless of the fact that several people have never even been up close to a lighter than air craft, those who have floated away in one remember this fantastic experience for a long time!

Ballon flights can be had by all ages. Most adventures last more or less an hour, but check with your pilot to find out what they offer. They often have different packages to choose from.

How do you light the burners?
Usually with a striker similar to that used by welders to light their welding torches. Some burners have built-in piezo-electric ignitors. Once lit, a pilot light keeps the fuel burning.

Is Balloon Flight Safe?

Absolutely! While there is an element of risk in everything we do in life, flying in a balloon is inherently safe for several reasons:

  • Pilots are highly trained and licensed by the F.A.A.
  • Balloons are registered aircraft and must be regularly inspected by an FAA licensed facility.
  • Balloons fly only when the weather is the best. You won't find anyone flying a balloon when weather conditions make it unsafe to do so.
  • It is low and slow! There are few moving parts in a balloon - it is the simplest form of flight.
If you have any specific concerns, talk to the company you are considering flying with. They can tell you how long they've been flying and what their safety record is. They can also answer any specific questions you might have about your flight.

As you search for Ballon flights in Birmingham, realize that your ride will be rescheduled if conditions are less than perfect. Don't expect to fly if it is windy or unstable. Bring your camera and plenty of film, because you'll take many more photos than you require.
