About the Pilot
Pilot Fred Grotenhuis has over 34 years experience which includes military flight training, helicopters, fixed wing, and hot air balloons. He recently took up paragliding and when the weather conditions permit and he is not busy ballooning you will find him at Little Gap or Kirks Ridge soaring.
What's in a Balloon?
The modern hot air balloon is basically the same aircraft that the Montgolfier brothers developed over 200 years ago. Our balloons consist of a rip-stop nylon envelope, a wicker basket, a propane burner and flight instruments. Heated air inside the envelope creates a lighter and less dense air mass which allows the balloon to fly. When the balloon lifts free, wind dictates the direction and speed of flight. The pilot can alter direction by simply changing altitude and finding a favorable wind.
Flight Schedule
Flights can be scheduled any day of the week. Flights are either at sunrise or a few hours before sunset. This always offers the most favorable flying conditions. Our balloons carry 2 - 4 passengers at a time, but we can accommodate larger groups. Your balloon adventure will last approximately 3 hours, with actual flight time of about 1 hour, followed by a champagne picnic. Reservations are required, but we will do our best to accommodate you on a short notice.
What to wear and bring
We suggest that you dress comfortably for outdoor activity and wear appropriate footwear for walking in fields. Early mornings can be cool and damp and waterproof shoes will add to your comfort. It is never any colder up in a balloon than is the ground temperature. Dresses, shorts and sandals are not recommended. You may want to bring your camera since ballooning is such a colorful and visual experience.
Terms, conditions, scheduling
All balloon flights are subject to availability of balloon, pilot and weather conditions. To make arrangements, you may call for availability. A 50% deposit is required to ensure your reservation. Final payment is due the day of the flight. Full refunds are made (minus a $30 per reservation handling fee) if written notice is received 7 days prior to your scheduled flight. Cancellations occurring 1 to 6 days prior to scheduled flight forfeit deposit. Cancellations the day of flight or no-shows will not receive a refund. You have the option to have all your money refunded if we cancel the flight for any reason, or to reschedule your flight to next best time. Passengers must call us between 8:15-8:30 p.m. the night before a morning flight to confirm flying weather. Call between 2:15-2:30 p.m. to confirm afternoon flights. Balloonatics and Aeronuts assumes no liability for any type of loss whatsoever. All balloons are FAA certified Standard Airworthy. All pilots are experienced and commercially certified to carry passengers by the Federal Aviation Administration.
