Montana Balloon ridesBalloon flights are big in Montana, and smart shoppers can enjoy this exciting way to fly whenever the weather conditions are good. While many outdoor enthusiasts have never seen a balloon, those who have flown aboard in one remember this marvelous treat for a long time!A hot air balloon has three major parts: the envelope, the burner, and the basket. The envelope is the large fabric part, the burner is fueled by propane to heat the air inside the envelope, and the basket is where you ride.
How do you steer a balloon? Balloons simply float with the wind. The pilot can control the balloon's altitude to find a wind going in the desired direction, but you cannot fly upwind or crosswind. Preflight planning insures the pilot knows which way the balloon will be traveling, and the pilot makes sure there are plenty of suitable landing sites downwind. You'll be amazed how the pilot is able to steer the balloon during your balloon ride!
