San Diego Ballon flightsBallon flights are fashionable in San Diego, and you can delight in this unusual sport when the weather is good. While many people have never even been up close to a hot air balloon, those who have taken off in one remember this terrific experience the rest of their life!Ballon flights can be had by anyone. Most flights last approximately an hour, but check with the tour company to find out your options. Occasionally they have several flights to buy from.
Do you need a license to fly a balloon? Yes. A pilot offering balloon rides (flying passengers for hire) must receive additional training and have more experience than a private pilot. You don't have to be able to fly an airplane since it is a completely different type of aircraft, although many balloon pilots also fly other types of aircraft like airplanes and helicopters.
As you search for Ballon flights in San Diego, realize that your charter could be rescheduled if weather conditions are unflyable. Don't expect to fly if it is raining or windy. Bring your camera and plenty of film, since you'll take many more photographs than you expect.

Lighter-than-air was the first aviation, and is still the choice for many pilots more than 200 years later. You don't need an airport or a runway. If you own a balloon, you don't need a hangar or even a tie-down space, just a corner of your garage. Take off from your back field, or the parking lot at the general store (with permission, of course). Drift quietly along, experiencing little or no sensation of movement of height. Land on a freshly cut hayfield, or the softball diamond before the players even get out of bed.
