Newark Ballon rides

Ballon rides are very big in Newark, and you may enjoy this outstanding interest year-round. While several people have never even been up close to a ballon, those who have taken flight in one remember this wonderful experience for life!

Ballon rides can be experienced by everyone. Most trips last around an hour, but check with your pilot to find out what is available. Occasionally they have different trips to buy from.

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.

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 rides in Newark, understand that your flight can be rescheduled if weather is unsafe. Don't expect to fly if it is unstable or poor visiblilty. Bring your camera and plenty of film, because you'll snap many more pictures than you require.
