#415. Hot Air Balloon Ride for 4 People
First, the winning bidders will meet the pilot and ground crew who will take them to the launch site where the beautiful balloon is being inflated. Then the ground crew will unpack the equipment and invite the passengers to participate in the inflation process. After launching, the balloon will gently ascend and float between 500 and 1,000 feet. They will travel above the treetops and below the clouds for about an hour, covering five to ten miles—wherever the wind takes them! The whole experience takes about three hours…three fantastic hours! When you land, celebrate with a fruit juice or champagne toast!
Tickets can be used anytime in the next 12 months.
The Minnesota authorized location is Balloon Ascensions Unlimited in Jordan, MN, owned and operated by Chief Aeronaut Ed Chapman, who has over 33 years of experience with over 23,000 hours of flight time, including over 2,000 hours in hot air balloons. Ed has set 20 World Records in hot air balloons for distance, duration and high altitude!! Over 4,000 passengers carried safely!
