When Do Balloons Fly?
Twisted Sister Albuquerque, NM
Our balloon flights take place at Sunrise
or approximately two hours prior to Sunset any day that the winds are
less than 9 mph and there is no
inclement weather in the area.
We fly all year round but the majority of balloon flights in the Midwest take place between April and November.
If the heat index is 95 degrees or above
we only schedule Sunrise flights.
Flying in a Hot Air Balloon is like floating on your own cloud.
Your pilot will skim across the treetops allowing you to pick leaves
and soar up to 3,000 feet above the ground
to give you a bird's eye view of the landscape.
You can see wildlife such as deer, coyote, wild turkey, hawks,
Great Blue Heron and the elusive American Bald Eagle
all the while people on the ground
follow along yelling "Hello" or "Land Here" only wishing
they were the ones flying in the balloon.

Where do we fly?
Twisted Sister - 9/11/2002
Our balloon flights take place in the southern area of Kansas City depending on the direction of the wind for that day. We are required by the FAA to plan our flights so that we are landing outside of highly congested areas.
This also gives us many more options
for safe landing sites.
We generally meet our passengers at the Johnson County Executive Airport located at 151st Street and Pflumm in Olathe, KS. We do have several other meeting locations and they do change depending on the direction of the wind where are passengers are traveling from.
More specific meeting location information will be given to you when you call to check-in for your flight.
Who can fly in a balloon?
The Gerstberger Family/MysticAcresKennel.com
Kids of all ages...we have actually flown people from the age of 6 months to 101 years old! But, we usually suggest no younger than 8 years old as the attention span tends not to last for the duration of the flight! We ask that you be able to climb in and out of the basket unassisted and be able to stand for the duration of the flight. A typical landing can be likened to hopping off a picnic table or jumping off 4 steps.
Don't worry about being afraid of heights...
Flying in a balloon is like floating on your own cloud!
Children 12 or younger must be accompanied by an adult.
We do not recommend that pregnant women to fly because of the possibility of a bumpy landing.
Our goal is to keep everyone SAFE! So please inform us of any recent injuries or surgery (you will need a release from your doctor).
If you are not sure you can stand for the duration of the flight or need other assistance we are willing to make special arrangements for you, just ask and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. If you have any special needs we will want to plan your flight for a day where the winds are extremely light, say 3-5 mph to assure that the crew can be there to assist us when we land.

Where do we land?

Balloons travel at the same speed and direction as the wind, your pilot is able to steer the balloon by using the wind currents at different altitudes.
The Chase Crew follows the balloon and obtains permission from the landowner before we land.
We look for a large yard, church, school or a mowed field that is accessible for the chase vehicle and steer the balloon in for landing.
After landing and packing up the balloon we celebrate with a Traditional First Flight Ceremony.
