in the heart of America's most scenic country.
You assemble with the rest of your fellow aeronauts for a short
trip to your launch site then watch with awe as a balloon larger than the Goodyear Blimp takes shape from a seemingly

for all time in your memory. Your balloon is piloted by an experienced FAA Certified Commercial Aviator.
The
air is so clean it almost seems to cleanse the spirit, so clear you can see forever. During our flights of fancy
