Chesapeake Balloon excursions

Balloon excursions are very big in Chesapeake, and you may enjoy this fun way to rise above the earth throughout the year. Regardless of the fact that several people have never even been up close to a air balloon, those who have flown aboard in one remember this spectacular experience the rest of their life!

Balloon excursions can be experienced by young and old alike. Most trips last nearly an hour, but check with your ride company to find out what is available. Many have several packages to order from.

In their simplest form, balloon competitions score how close a pilot can get to a pre-determined target. Small weighted markers are dropped at the target. The challenge is to be the closest to the target, but unlike all other forms of flying, balloon pilots do not have direct control of their direction of flight. The balloon simply drifts with the wind.

What should you wear during your flight?

Ballooning is not a formal occasion, so heals, dresses and suits are not appropriate. Dress like you would for an outdoor hike. Comfortable shoes (no open-toed shoes or sandals, please), long pants and layered clothing during the cooler months are recommended. Balloons don't normally land at airports, so you'll probably be standing in an open field after landing. Dress appropriately for the area of the country you're flying in.

Be sure to check with the company you are flying with for their clothing rules.

As you search for Balloon excursions in Chesapeake, remember that your charter will 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 snap many more pictures than you expect.
