"A great time to fly in this region of the country, everything is bright green and flight visibility is often 10 miles or more."
"A time of beautiful warm mornings, often at or above 70° at sunrise. Winds are consistently light, and this happens to be one of the best times to fly."
"Truly one of the most beautiful times of the year to fly in Virginia, the spectacular autumn colors are on glorious display from late September to Early November and offer some breathtaking vista's of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The crisp fall air provides visibility of 10+ miles."
"Yes, its cold but if you're dressed appropriately it's worth the effort. Winter, by far is the best time to fly if you're looking for the best far-off "view." The crystal clear winter air provides visibility in excess of 50 miles from 2,000 ft."
Perhaps one of the most exciting things about a balloon flight is that no one is the same.
Each flight is custom tailored to the days weather conditions. Our balloon flights depart just after sunrise in Botetourt County. First we will meet at our common location, do a series of wind checks and then we're on our way to the appropriate launch site.
Within just a few moments the balloon will be ready to go! Climb aboard and off we go into the wild blue yonder! Our flights average in length from 45 minutes to an hour in the air, with the total experience lasting about 3 hours. You will be immersed in a sense of absolute awe as we silently drift along over the countryside. You can even hear dogs bark and talk to the neighbors!
During the flight our first class chase crew will follow along the beautiful country roads, in order to greet us for our eventual landing.
We look forward to flying with you soon! Please feel free to check out our FAQ's page for any further questions you may have!
