North Dakota Balloon flights

Hot air balloon flights are fashionable in North Dakota, and busy people can delight in this spectacular and photogenic activity when the weather conditions are good. While many individuals have never been around a hot air balloon, those who have floated away in one remember this great experience for years!

A balloon team is often a family affair. Crew people come in all shapes and sizes: singles, married, and entire families can be found. Pick any combination of these types of folks, and they are here too. There are crew people ranging from new born babies, to folks well into their 80's still enjoying the sport. The only special skill needed for the balloon ground crew is a willingness to learn and ask questions. Some tasks require a fair amount of physical strength, but don't worry, there are even more tasks that do not.

Hot air balloon flights can be enjoyed by everyone. Most trips last up to an hour, even so check with your the company to find out what they offer. Several have several trips to order from.

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!
