Beginning around noon on the previous day of your flight, we continue to monitor the weather very carefully. We first check for regional frontal movement, then local wind and weather forecasts and finally, the morning of your flight, we launch our own small latex weather balloons to confirm that the wind direction and speed are safe for hot air balloon flight. We do not fly in convection (up and down drafts). These begin as early as around 9:00 AM. Convection causes the balloon to rise and descend uncontrollably, which is unsafe. This is the reason we restrict hot air balloon operations to a narrow window in the early morning from sunup to around 9:00AM. Thus, we have a flight window about 2 to 2 ½ hours. This, is the reason you must arrive on time because we simply cannot fly late due to safety concerns. Our crew and pilots arrive Read more...
