Charlotte Balloon excursions

Balloon excursions are big in Charlotte, and you could delight in this wonderous sport year around. While several people have never even been up close to a lighter than air craft, those who have taken off in one remember this marvelous experience for years!

Balloon excursions can be enjoyed by all ages. Most flights last close to an hour, but check with your ride company to find out what they offer. Some have different flights to select 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.

What is it like flying in a balloon?

You'll be amazed the first time you go for a balloon ride! The feeling is unlike anything else. It is very calm and serene, and not frightening at all. The view is spectacular, and depending on the location of your balloon flight, you're likely to see local wildlife as never before. It is very quiet except for the occasional WHOOOSH of the burner, and you can talk to people on the ground!

The 360 degree view is spectacular as you drift silently above the world. You may brush gently through the treetops or soar thousands of feet above the earth; either way you'll be thrilled at the peace and serenity of your adventure.

As you look for Balloon excursions in Charlotte, realize that your ride could be rescheduled if conditions are unflyable. Don't expect to fly if it is unstable or poor visiblilty. Bring your camera and lots of film, because you'll snap many more pics than you require.
