Tulsa Hot air balloon rides

Hot air balloon rides are in demand in Tulsa, and you can savor this fantastic pastime now. While numerous people have never even been up close to a air balloon, those who have floated away in one remember this outstanding experience forever!

Hot air balloon rides can be had by all ages. Most trips last approximately an hour, but check with your pilot to find out what's available. Occasionally they have several packages to choose from.

A long time ago someone wrote a balloonists prayer, and we've used it in the post flight ceremonies ever since:

The winds have welcomed you with softness
The sun has held you in his warm hands
You have flown so high and so well
That God has joined you in your laughter
And set you gently back down
Into the loving arms of Mother Earth.

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 look for Hot air balloon rides in Tulsa, realize that your ride can be rescheduled if weather conditions are not appropriate. Don't expect to fly if it is poor visiblilty or too cold. Bring your camera and plenty of film, since you'll snap many more pictures than you expect.
