Oregon Hot air balloon flights

Hot air balloon trips are very big in Oregon, and smart shoppers can enjoy this fun interest any time the conditions are favorable. While many persons have never been around a hot air balloon, those who have flown in one remember this great treat for years!

When the pilot has located a nice field for landing, the crew is informed (usually by radio) of the landing site. The goal of the crew is two fold; they want to have the vehicle at the landing field before the pilot lands, and still have enough time to be waiting in the selected field to assist in any way with the landing operation. Sound pretty simple? Well... it is, most of the time! It is often explained that crewing is 90% just plain common sense, and 10% training.

Hot air balloon trips can be experienced by young and old alike. Most excursions last about an hour, even so check with your ride company to find out what they offer. Some have different flights to order from.

How can I find a balloon ride company if there isn't one listed near me?

You can check your local yellow pages for balloon rides, but it is possible that there are no flights available. Some areas are not conducive to safe balloon flight, so you may need to contact a company in a nearby city or state.

Flying in a balloon is a wonderful experience, and is definitely worth the effort even if you need to take an overnight trip to fly in a balloon. Talk to the balloon company about nearby hotels and other activities you can do while you are visiting their area.
