Beaumont Baloon rides

Baloon rides are in demand in Beaumont, and you may delight in this spectacular avocation throughout the year. While numbers of people have never even been up close to a ballon, those who have flown in one remember this marvellous experience forever!

Baloon rides can be enjoyed by everyone. Most adventures last nearly an hour, but check with your ride company to find out your options. Sometimes they have several flights to buy from.

How much do balloons cost?
About the same as a car or boat. The most popular sport size balloons cost from $18,000 to $25,000 or more. Support equipment (radios, fan, extra tanks, tools, repair kit, etc.) adds from $2,000 to $ 5,000 more. You can also buy used balloons.

Do you need a license to fly a balloon?

Yes.
A Balloon Pilot Certificate is issued by the Federal Aviation Administration in the USA. You must pass an FAA written exam, obtain a prescribed number of hours of instruction, make a solo flight, a flight to a specific altitude and pass a flight test.

A pilot offering balloon rides (flying passengers for hire) must receive additional training and have more experience than a private pilot. You don't have to be able to fly an airplane since it is a completely different type of aircraft, although many balloon pilots also fly other types of aircraft like airplanes and helicopters.

As you search for Baloon rides in Beaumont, remember that your ride will be rescheduled if conditions are bad. Don't expect to fly if it is raining or too cold. Bring your camera and lots of film, because you'll snap many more pics than you require.
