Hot air balloon trial lesson?
Hi All
It's my old man's 60th shortly and I'm considering getting him a balloon flight to mark the occasion. In fact I know that he'd much prefer to actually take part in flying the balloon, or at least speak in detail with the pilot about how he is flying the balloon, judgements he is making, etc, rather than the usual glass of champers type balloon experiences. He has a fair bit of flying experience - paragliding lately, as well as microlights, light aircraft and gliders some time ago, so I expect he'd pick it up and be able to be involved quicker than most. Anyone done similar or know of a company who would cater to this? He is based in N Wales so somewhere nearby would be easiest but not essential. Cheers |
I am sure he will really enjoy it...I certainly did.

Thanks Les. What sort of thing did you do? Did you get to have a go and/or speak to the pilot in the manner I described, given your background?

I'd not waste my money. Seems like a lot of hot air to me!
:D |
We did this for my old mans 60th too he amongst others managed to talk to the 'pilot' of the baloon while they were flying, after all it is not as if he could get away lol.
