Hot air balloon flights close to Virginia    

Virginia Balloon rides

Hot air balloon trips are accepted in Virginia, and you can delight in this spectacular pursuit any time the weather conditions are favorable. While many persons have never gotten near a lighter than air craft, those who have taken off in one remember this marvellous treat forever!

Competition pilots have become quite skilled in reading the winds aloft and using them to their advantage to get where they want to be (the target!). Competitors have gotten so good that the difference between first place and third or fourth can be fractions of an inch.

Hot air balloon trips can be had by young and old alike. Most charters last more or less an hour, even so check with your pilot to find out what they offer. Sometimes they have different trips to order from.

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.
