Yonkers Ballon ridesBallon rides are popular in Yonkers, and you could revel in this wonderous sport now. Regardless of the fact that most people have never even been up close to a hot air balloon, those who have floated away in one remember this marvellous experience for years to come!Ballon rides can be had by young and old alike. Most trips last just about an hour, but check with your pilot to find out what they offer. Several have several 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!
As you look for Ballon rides in Yonkers, understand that your flight might be rescheduled if weather conditions are unflyable. Don't expect to fly if it is windy or too cold. Bring your camera and lots of film, since you'll take many more photos than you require.

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.
