Missouri Balloon flights

Hot air balloon trips are in demand in Missouri, and your family can revel in this wonderful and calm sport whenever the weather is favorable. Regardless of the fact that many individuals have never been close to a hot air balloon, those who have taken off in one remember this fantastic experience for years!

How do you light the burners?
Usually with a striker similar to that used by welders to light their welding torches. Some burners have built-in piezo-electric ignitors. Once lit, a pilot light keeps the fuel burning.

Hot air balloon trips can be had by everyone. Most excursions last near an hour, even so check with your ride company to find out what they offer. They often have several offerings to order from.

Can we fly at a balloon festival?

Check with your local balloon company to see if you can get your balloon ride during a nearby festival. Flying at a festival is a unique experience, and is one that you don't want to miss if possible.

Each festival has their own rules, and many do not allow paid passenger rides for several reasons, including FAA restrictions or insurance concerns. Some festivals, however, not only allow passenger flights but encourage spectators to fly by selling balloon rides at the festival.

Preplanning is the key - you'll want to know well in advance if you can fly at the balloon festival you plan to attend.
