Are you in search of a safe, fun, and exciting hot air balloon company?! Search no further. I would highly recommend this company to everyone. My experience with The United States Hot Air Balloon Team was more than ordinary, it was extra-ordinary. A... big shout-out to Jake Frame and his team for making my proposal a story to remember. Although I was a chicken at first, I will never forget the thrill of floating so high above PA. That view was incredible and definitely one for the books.

My wifeand I just took a flight on Wednesday 10/3. We wanted to do something a little different and exciting. Well, we chose the right thing to do. It was phenomenal from start to finish, office help to pilot (Lucas) , to chase team. We couldn’t... have asked for a better experience . Though a little anxious before we took off, it went away as soon as we were airborne. Such a calming, relaxing, as well as exciting trip all in one. We have been the talk of our friends as soon as they heard and especially after seeing the pictures. I would highly recommend doing this to anyone. Beyond a doubt, one of the best things we have experienced. We will be backread more

The whole company went out of their way to make the flight awesome. The people in the office, to the chase Crew. to Jake the pilot, who's talent goes way beyond his young years. As a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne many years ago I've had a lot... of experience with good and bad landing. Pilot Jake did his job of commanding the chase Crew, and us in the basket to make a great landing. I would fly with Jake anytime.read more

What an incredible ride! Jake was a wonderful pilot, and we had a wonderful journey over Lancaster. My husband, 14 year old daughter and I were joined by four others - and we were so impressed by the professionalism, attention to detail and hard... work that went into every piece of the process, from set up to liftoff, from the glorious ride to the landing, from clean up to the toast at the end. A magical experience all around. We thoroughly recommend US Hot Air Balloon Team!read more

I loved my experience. This was a reward from my son for losing 100 pounds, He knew it was on my bucket list. So when I hit the 100 pound lost mark, he said, "ok, I will pay for the ride". Finally got the opportunity yesterday. It was fabulous... and the Pilot Craig Kennedy was helpful, fun and we had a great time. Would do it again.read more

This was on my bucket list. My kids gave it to me for my birthday present. It was the best birthday ever!!! The ride was wonderful. Views were amazing. We landed in front of an amish farm and the kids all came out to help. Talking to them and seeing... their excitement topped the cake. Our pilot Jesse was the best. He has an awesome team with Jay and Mason. I could not have asked for a better day. Thank you Jesse Jay and Mason for such a great experience.read more

US Hot-air balloon came through in the clutch! We were rained out the previous week, but Brenda was sure to get us in at the Lancaster location the day before the flight. I planned on proposing to my gf but did not know how it was going to work out.... The front desk sign in person at the Lancaster location was extremely helpful with planning and coordinating with the pilot. The pilot Lucas took care of the rest and was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, funny and made the entire hot air balloon ride very comfortable and enjoyable! He took a great video and awesome pictures and couldn’t have asked for a better pilot! I highly recommend taking a hot air ballon with this group! I enjoyed every minute from the beginning to the champagne toast at the end! 5 out of 5 stars.

Thanks for everything!

Just landed 3 hours ago. Everything was great. We went to 6400 ft !!
The captain answered all the questions asked. The chase crew worked
very hard, and brought us down to earth safely.
If you have a bucket list, this better be on it. I'm... afraid of heights, but
had zero issues. Make sure you tip these guys, they work hard.

When my mom and I were planning our trip to PA, we decided to cross off Hot Air Balloon Ride from the "bucket list". We couldn't have picked a better place /company to go with. Kyle was a fantastic pilot and guide, and his personality made you... feel right at home with him. His ground crew (Corey and Sharon) were fantastic as well. All three went the extra mile at the end of our ride, when my mom noticed her diamond had fallen out of her ring. They all stopped their post flight duties, and we're literally on their hands and knees searching in the grass and in the basket. They never gave up looking, and they ended up finding it stuck in the weave of the basket, and then worked together to get it out. Amazing group of people...we can't thank them enough for the experience and the extra effort they put in to making it a happy memory!read more

Last night in Palmyra, Pa, we had the pleasure to see a beautiful sight. Of one of your hot air balloons came floating above our neighborhood.

Realizing it was slowly starting to descend, we decided to follow it. We were able to watch the... beautiful sight of the balloon "touch down"! It was amazing!

As a croud gathered around, we watched in awe how the team on the ground went into action to bring the balloon down and wrap it up!

The best part of this experience was how appreciative the team was to the crowd.

The pilot, which I did not get his name, allowed the children to get inside the basket with him so the mom's could get pictures!

Thank you to the team for being so kind and friendly to us. It's an experience the kids snd grown-up's will always remember!

Melissa Tishko

My non husband and I went on a hot air balloon ride this morning, 8/2/15. We got there at 5:30AM and helped set up. Our flight was AWESOME. We went as high as 6000 feet and as low as just above the trees. I really want to do this again. Kyle... suggested the same area but in the fall as the trees change. I am trying to get a group of people together to do that. That's just how much I would recommend doing this. Kyle and his crew were so nice and Kyle pointed things out as we flew near them.read more

13:11 24 Jul 15

Kinda' tentative because of cloudiness and chance of rain, but it turned out to be a great experience. Kyle is a great pilot and an extremely personable guy. My fellow fliers were interesting and a pleasure to meet. The thunderstorm that hit a few... minutes after we landed added a touch more excitement to an already thrilling trip. As a big guy, I could have liked a bigger gondola or fewer people. We were really packed in there. I would do it again in a heart beat.read more
