A balloon is a federally registered aircraft. Just like
an airplane, blimp or helicopter, they must be inspected every year or 100
flight hours.
The fabric alone weighs about 200 pounds and is made of colorful
rip-stop nylon, containing miles of thread. Our baskets are wicker, which
are lightweight, traditional and act as a shock absorber when we land.
Depending on the number of passengers and balloon availability, your
balloon will hold between 90,000 and 105,400 cubic feet of air. They are
about eight stories tall with a black and rainbow design.
