Fort Wayne Baloon ridesBaloon rides are big in Fort Wayne, and you could revel in this exciting avocation when the weather is good. Even though many people have never even been up close to a lighter than air craft, those who have taken flight in one remember this outstanding experience the rest of their life!Baloon rides can be had by everyone. Most charters last about an hour, but check with your ride company to find out what is available. Many have different trips to choose from.
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 Baloon rides in Fort Wayne, remember that your ride might be rescheduled if weather is bad. Don't expect to fly if it is too cold or raining. Bring your camera and lots of film, because you'll snap many more snap shots than you require.

How does the balloon get in the air in the first place? That's where the ground crew (or chase crew, two names, same job) comes in. The crew's number one job is to assist the pilot. This includes setting up the balloon, helping to make sure the basket is arranged and stocked with those things the pilot likes to take along, and to help achieve a safe lift off. Once the balloon is airborne, the crew takes the chase vehicle and follow the balloon for an hour or so.
