Washington Hot air balloon tripsBalloon rides are very popular in Washington, and busy people can savor this fun way to rise above the earth when the weather is good. While many people have never seen a hot air balloon, those who have floated away in one remember this unique experience for a long time!The balloon is inflated using a gasoline powered fan. Once the balloon is fully packed with air, the pilot turms on the burner and heats the air in the balloon, causing it to rise. Passengers then board the aircraft, and your flight begins!
How long do balloon rides last? Most balloon flights are in the air for 30 minutes to one hour, but you should plan on being out with the balloon team for three hours or more. First, the pilot must determine the launch site based on current wind direction. The chase crew will follow the balloon during the flight and will be there when the balloon lands. the balloon is packed up and passengers and crew are returned to the original meeting place. Be sure to check with the company you are flying with to see how long your flight is expected to last.
