Michigan Balloon flightsHot air balloon rides are plentiful in Michigan, and smart shoppers can enjoy this unusual pursuit any time the weather conditions are favorable. While many persons have never seen a air balloon, those who have flown aboard in one remember this outstanding experience the rest of their life!Hot air balloons use plain old air for lift. By heating the air inside the balloon, the pilot makes that air less dense (lighter) than the outside air, and the balloon rises. As the internal air cools, the balloon becomes heavier, and descends if the pilot doesn't add more heat.
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.
