Kentucky Hot air balloon ridesHot air balloon rides are the thing in Kentucky, and your family can revel in this outstanding and photogenic activity whenever the conditions are right. Regardless of the fact that many persons have never gotten near a ballon, those who have taken flight in one remember this terrific experience forever!It's a very basic principle: Hot air rises and cold air sinks. So while the super-cooled air in your grocer's freezer settles down around the food, the hot air in a hot air balloon pushes up, keeping the balloon floating.
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!
