Item Description

Private Hot Air Balloon Ride for two in Columbus, IN area.  The ride will occur just after sunrise or in the evening before sunset.  Flights normally occur on weekends.

  1. Flights normally occur in the early mornings or in the last couple of hours before sunset.  Plan to arrive at the launch site 30 minutes prior to scheduled liftoff time.  We normally launch from Rock Creek School, southeast of Columbus, but it may be possible to fly from another location dependent upon the location and prevailing winds on the day of the flight.  Flights normally last between 30 minutes to an hour.
  2. All passengers must be able-bodied individuals, capable of climbing into and out of the basket.
  3. All passengers must be 15 years of age and must sign a liability release prior to the flight.  A parent or guardian must accompany any minor on the flight and sign the liability release for the minor.
  4. The flight is valid for the 2016 flying season which runs from April 1 through November 1.  Please schedule your flight as soon as possible to ensure availability.  The flight will expire on November1, 2016.  (We will only make exceptions to this expiration date in case of inclimate weather.)
  5. Safety is our top priority, therefore:
  • The flight is dependent upon weather conditions and will be subject to last minute cancellation at the sole discretion of the pilot.
  • If a flight is cancelled, the pilot will work with the passengers to reschedule the flight.
