Balloon flights close to Norfolk    

Norfolk Balloon flights

Balloon flights are fashionable in Norfolk, and you could delight in this fantastic activity now. Regardless of the fact that many people have never even been up close to a lighter than air craft, those who have flown in one remember this marvelous experience forever!

Balloon flights can be experienced by anyone. Most charters last about an hour, but check with the pilot to find out what's available. Many have several offerings to order 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.

Why can't I get a balloon ride in the middle of the day?

Balloons fly early in the morning, right after sunrise and late in the day, right before sunset. This is when the wind is calmest since the sun is low in the sky. The wind is generally too unpredictable, with severe up-and down-drafts, during the middle of the day. It isn't safe to offer balloon rides when the wind is unstable.

As you look for Balloon flights in Norfolk, realize that your ride might be rescheduled if conditions are not appropriate. Don't expect to fly if it is raining or too cold. Bring your camera and plenty of film, since you'll take many more photographs than you require.
