Irving Hot air balloon rides

Hot air balloon rides are accepted in Irving, and you could revel in this unique way to fly when the weather is good. While numerous people have never even been up close to a ballon, those who have flown aboard in one remember this tremendous experience for life!

Hot air balloon rides can be enjoyed by young and old alike. Most flights last approximately an hour, but check with the pilot to find out your options. Many have different flights to select from.

Balloon races are popular throughout the world, especially during summer months. We are often asked, "How do balloons race?" The term 'racing' may not be the best choice of words when talking about balloon competitions because balloons don't race in the normal sense of the word. It isn't a first across the finish line endeavor.

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 Hot air balloon rides in Irving, remember that your ride could be rescheduled if conditions are unflyable. Don't expect to fly if it is unstable or too hot. Bring your camera and lots of film, because you'll take many more photos than you expect.
