Balloon flights near Aurora    

Aurora Balloon flights

Balloon flights are popular in Aurora, and you may savor this great way to fly now. While numbers of people have never even been up close to a air balloon, those who have taken off in one remember this wonderous experience the rest of their life!

Balloon flights can be enjoyed by all ages. Most charters last close to an hour, but check with the tour company to find out what they offer. Many have different flights to choose from.

Balloons are flown by a licensed pilot, who is assisted by a ground crew. The crew help assemble and inflate the balloon, and follow on the ground during flight. After the balloon lands, the crew packs up the balloon and everyone is taken back to the original meeting place.

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 Balloon flights in Aurora, understand that your charter may be rescheduled if weather conditions are unsafe. Don't expect to fly if it is unstable or raining. Bring your camera and lots of film, because you'll snap many more pictures than you expect.
