  1. What time are flights scheduled?
    Morning flights meet a half an hour before sunrise and evening flights meet three hours before sunset.
  2. What's the temperature in the balloon?
    The temperature does not change much from the ground to our top altitude.  You lose three degrees every 1,000 feet.  So if it is 75 degrees on the ground at 1,000 feet it will be 72 degrees.
  3. What does the flight feel like?
    Flying in a balloon is like nothing else you will ever experience!  You will become part of the wind gliding above the treetops. A ride in a balloon is a very smooth, peaceful, enjoyable experience.
  4. What altitude will we reach?
    You will fly anywhere from tree top level to several thousand feet.
  5. What is the balloon made of?
    Hot air balloons are made of a polyester or nylon material. 
  6. Where will we land?
    You will land where the wind takes you.  Your pilot will steer the balloon using wind directions at different altitudes, but ultimately Mother Nature decided where we will land.
