Balloon flights in Riverside    

Riverside Balloon flights

Balloon flights are the thing in Riverside, and you could enjoy this fantastic interest throughout the year. While some people have never even been up close to a lighter than air craft, those who have flown in one remember this great experience for years!

Balloon flights can be had by anyone. Most charters last roughly an hour, but check with the pilot to find out what is available. Many have several trips to choose from.

The burner is positioned above the passenger's heads and produces a huge flame to heat the air inside the envelope. It is fueled by propane. The envelope is the colorful fabric bag that holds the hot air. When the air inside the envelope is heated, the balloon rises. To descend, the air in the envelope is allowed to cool and the balloon becomes heavier than air. The pilot has complete control of the up-and-down movements since he controls the heat in the envelope.

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 Riverside, remember that your trip will be rescheduled if weather conditions are unflyable. Don't expect to fly if it is unstable or poor visiblilty. Bring your camera and plenty of film, since you'll snap many more snap shots than you require.
