Hot Air Balloon Rides in Frederick
For your next adventure, join the Tailwinds Over Frederick Team for a Sunrise or Sunset Hot Air Balloon Ride! Your flight begins at the launch site where you will assist your pilot and his crew with the assembly of the aircraft. As the balloon slowly inflates you will watch as your pilot fills the fabric with cold air, and then you will experience the powerful burners heating that air as the balloon climbs up and stretches itself into its true form!
After climbing aboard and receiving a safety briefing, we will take flight and ride the winds as our trusty support crew follows along on the ground. In flight, you will have the opportunity to get pictures and video as we climb higher and higher, all suspended by hot air! As you near the end of your flight the balloon will descend to treetop level and look for an appropriate, safe and suitable landing spot to end our travels. Once back safely on the ground the chase crew will be there to assist in packing the equipment back safely into it's trailer ready for another flight! Our flight will end with a recap of the adventure and a celebratory champagne (or sparkling cider) toast and there will be plenty of time for photos! Your entire experience lasts approximately three hours.
