WE FLY ALL YEAR ROUND. Your flight will take place at sunrise, when the winds are the most favorable. You are welcome to join in on the inflation or if you prefer to just watch and take photos. After lift-off you are more than welcome to ask your pilot questions. He loves his job and is very knowledgable about the area of flight. There is alot of history here. Your pilot has many hours of flying under his belt and is a FAA certified commercial balloon pilot and instructor.
You will be flying between the Rio Grande River and the foothills of the mountains. Your flight may range anywhere from skimming the brush looking for wildlife to soaring to heights of 2,000 ft or more. Your flight will last about one hour.
You will be surprised at how warm it is in the balloon year round. Since the balloon is moving with the wind, you will not feel any breeze on your body. If we were to light a candle, the flame would not even flicker.
Your flight will conclude with a continental breakfast, a free balloon souvenir and photographs of your balloon flight.
We are a fully insured and accident free local balloon company in Albuquerque, NM. NOT a national clearing house selling tickets for balloon flights all over the country. If you book a balloon flight with us you will fly with us. We fly 365 days of the year so that you may fly on the date you want.

BALLOON RIDES:
We realize that getting your balloon ride in on the day that your want to fly is as important to you as it is to us. Upper wind currents typically travel from west to east,(the wind currents that we will be flying in). This is an important fact to consider when launching a hot air balloon because balloons move with the wind, and there is no way to physically steer a balloon. Most balloon companies launch their balloons west of the city and will then get blown toward the downtown area of the city. This fact limits their capability of doing their balloon flights to winds of less than 10 mph. because landing a balloon in downtown Albuquerque with all of the buildings and powerlines with winds more than 10 mph is quite challenging. We launch our balloon next to the Rio Grande River and fly east toward the mountains. By doing this (landing in the foothills of the mountains), makes your landing much easier because there are less obstacles to deal with.
