Ride Description

The Great American Hot Air Balloon Ride! First, the passengers 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 5 or 10 miles--wherever the wind takes them! On landing the pilot and passengers will celebrate with a champagne or fruit juice  toast, an old European tradition. The whole experience takes about three hours...three fantastic hours!

The ride can be taken at any one of Soaring Adventures of America's 150 certified ballooning locations coast-to-coast, anytime before November 1, 2009. The Gift Certificate Package that your winning bidders will receive includes:

• An Official Soaring Adventures of America, Inc. Flight Ticket

• The list of our 150 Hot Air Balloon Pilots’ names and ride scheduling phone numbers

• A Colorful Keepsake Picture of a Hot Air Balloon

Soaring Adventures of America Certified Sport Flying Centers are located all over the United States. For safety reasons they are never within congested flying areas. Balloon pilots usually operate from farms, parks and fields. The minimum age is six years old. The tickets are fully transferable--in fact, many auction bidders are acquiring the item as a gift for a family member or friend.

YOU: "Hmmm, this idea looks interesting. But, quite honestly, Jenna, I have a hundred things to do today, and I don't feel like reading all this right now. Can you just send me a kit in the mail so that I can look through it when I am not so busy?"

JENNA: "Of course, I know exactly how you feel! Just fill out our online form with your name and mailing address. I will put a hard copy of the Live and Silent Auction Kit in the mail to you today. Just click here: I'm Too Busy Mail Me a Kit!"
