Balloon flights close to Iowa    

Iowa Balloon flights

Balloon rides are favored in Iowa, and you can savor this unique pursuit while the conditions are favorable. While many individuals have never even been close to a air balloon, those who have floated away in one remember this unique treat for a long time!

What are balloon envelopes made of?
Rip-stop nylon is the most common material. Polyester and other fabrics are sometimes used. The lower portions around the opening are usually made from a fire resistant material like Nomex, similar to what race car drivers and firemen wear to protect themselves.

Balloon rides can be enjoyed by anyone. Most charters last about an hour, even so check with your ride company to find out what they offer. Some have different trips to select from.

Be sure to bring a camera and plenty of film!

You'll be surprised at how many pictures you take before, during and after your flight. Bring more film or memory than you think you'll use. Once you're in the air and snapping away you sure don't want to be surprised by running out!

You can bring cameras for still or video, and we suggest you carry them in a protective case. Your pilot may ask you to put your cameras away during landing to make sure there are no objects that could fly out of your hand and hurt someone. Once you're on the ground you can start shooting again.
