Akron Hot air balloon flights

Hot air balloon flights are the rage in Akron, and you can enjoy this great sport throughout the year. Even though most people have never even been up close to a lighter than air craft, those who have taken off in one remember this fantastic experience for years to come!

Hot air balloon flights can be experienced by everyone. Most excursions last more or less an hour, but check with the pilot to find out what's available. They often have several packages to buy from.

What are envelopes made of?
Rip-stop nylon is the most common material. Polyester and other fabrics are sometimes used. The lower portions around the opening are usually made from a fire resistant material like Nomex, similar to what race car drivers and firemen wear.

What is it like flying in a balloon?

You'll be amazed the first time you go for a balloon ride! The feeling is unlike anything else. It is very calm and serene, and not frightening at all. The view is spectacular, and depending on the location of your balloon flight, you're likely to see local wildlife as never before. It is very quiet except for the occasional WHOOOSH of the burner, and you can talk to people on the ground!

The 360 degree view is spectacular as you drift silently above the world. You may brush gently through the treetops or soar thousands of feet above the earth; either way you'll be thrilled at the peace and serenity of your adventure.

As you search for Hot air balloon flights in Akron, realize that your charter could be rescheduled if conditions are less than perfect. Don't expect to fly if it is too cold or unstable. Bring your camera and plenty of film, because you'll snap many more pics than you expect.
