New Jersey Hot air balloon rides

Hot air balloon rides are routine in New Jersey, and busy people can revel in this exciting way to fly while the weather conditions are favorable. Even though many individuals have never even been up close to a lighter than air craft, those who have flown aboard in one remember this wonderful treat for years!

Balloon races are popular throughout the world, especially during summer months. We are often asked, "How do balloons race?" The term 'racing' may not be the best choice of words when talking about balloon competitions because balloons don't race in the normal sense of the word. It isn't a first across the finish line endeavor.

Hot air balloon rides can be enjoyed by all ages. Most charters last up to an hour, however check with your ride company to find out what they offer. They often have different trips to buy from.

Is Balloon Flight Safe?

Absolutely! While there is an element of risk in everything we do in life, flying in a balloon is inherently safe for several reasons:

  • Pilots are highly trained and licensed by the F.A.A.
  • Balloons are registered aircraft and must be regularly inspected by an FAA licensed facility.
  • Balloons fly only when the weather is the best. You won't find anyone flying a balloon when weather conditions make it unsafe to do so.
  • It is low and slow! There are few moving parts in a balloon - it is the simplest form of flight.
If you have any specific concerns, talk to the company you are considering flying with. They can tell you how long they've been flying and what their safety record is. They can also answer any specific questions you might have about your flight.
