Laredo Ballon rides

Ballon rides are all the rage in Laredo, and you can delight in this fun sport year-round. Even though many people have never even been up close to a ballon, those who have flown aboard in one remember this unique experience for years to come!

Ballon rides can be had by anyone. Most excursions last about an hour, but check with the pilot to find out what they offer. Many have different offerings to choose from.

What are envelopes made of?
Rip-stop nylon is the most common material. Polyester and other fabrics are sometimes used. The lower portions around the opening are usually made from a fire resistant material like Nomex, similar to what race car drivers and firemen wear.

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!

As you search for Ballon rides in Laredo, keep in mind that your ride might be rescheduled if weather conditions are unsafe. Don't expect to fly if it is too cold or poor visiblilty. Bring your camera and plenty of film, because you'll take many more snapshots than you require.
