FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
* Time? Plan to spend app. 2 1/2 hours with us from start to finish. Actual flight time is approx 1 hr. The crew will prepare
for flight, launch, track, and meet us wherever we land and return the balloon and all passengers to the launch site.
* What to wear? Comfortable sportswear. It's always 5 to 10 degrees warmer up in the balloon, so don't overdress.
Sneakers or hiking shoes for support, no sandals, heels, or open toe shoes. We also suggest to wear or bring a hat.
* What to Bring? Camera, Video Camera, extra film. Leave purses and large bags on the ground.
* I'm afraid of heights. Will ballooning bother me? No. There is no physical connection between the earth and the
balloon such as there is in a tall building. This complete freedom seems to alleviate any apprehension or anxiety.
* Is there a feeling of motion in the balloon? No. The balloon moves at the same speed as the wind. There is no feeling
of motion. The sensation of ballooning is the complete absence of sensation. "Tranquil", "Calm", "Relaxing", are
the words used most often by our passengers to describe ballooning.
