I have been wanting to do that for so long. There are flights 100 km's from where I live. I baulk at paying $300 for a 1 hour flight.

I would be game ,,I've been on the Goodyear Blimp
a friend was ground crew in Daytona /New Smyrna Beach for the races and at Watson Island when it was in Miami ( there are several of them )
So he got me rides on it ,,,but I have seen lots of hot air balloon shows
( I think it was actually some type of race )
I love Flying ,,plane ,Helo are the only things I never got to fly on my own solo ,that was my dream ,,,
when I was little I wanted to be an Astronaut
my Dad worked at the space center ,,I met a few
But you need a diploma for that ,usually a pilot ,I only had an honorable discharge ,,not enough
I feel blessed ,,I don't have a license ,,but I have flown friends planes
I have a friend that owns a Helo ,,but since he is not licensed
He has to hire a pilot ,,,He can't fly it either ,,but he owns one
Hot Air would be as cool as a ship that only uses the tides
I think it would be cool ,

I pilot airplanes and have flown gliders but I have never been up in a balloon. I would love to do it but the opportunity has never presented itself. A friend of mine loves to skydive and he said that he once jumped out of a balloon basket at altitude. He said it was his scariest jump since he had zero airspeed when he jumped. When he jumps from an airplane he has airspeed and can kind of 'fly' through the air. From the balloon he simply tumbled until he had enough airspeed to 'fly'.
I hear new mexico is a great place for that. I'd like to see a big group of them.

@stound I've seen photos of balloon meets, and some of the incredible creations. It looks like one of the most fun aviation sports around

Very serene and peaceful and I highly recommend it.
