It might be difficult to get up so early in the morning in order to fly, but trust us when we say: it’s worth it. 👌🏼

(Always wind and weather permitting, of course. 🙂)

It’s always so fun bringing our hot air balloon program to schools. The learning experience for the kids is not one they soon forget!

Considering a ride out of Letchworth? The fall glow is upon us, and a hint of color is beginning to show up in the trees. Looks like a nice stretch of weather coming; and we still have ride spaces available, even for this coming week. Visit balloonsoverletchworth.com to check ride availability, or contact our office for details!

********Update: the scheduled passenger flight launch is canceled due to strong winds aloft. We **might** be able to tether (lift off to the end of ropes) without leaving the protection of our launch area. If we do this, we will make short 5-minute tethered rides to the end of ropes (treetop height) available to the public.*******

Friends: because of the holiday, we will be on site this evening no matter what. ***If the weather is flyable***, our launch (three balloons) is scheduled for about 6pm. The public is always welcome to come out and watch a launch. But tonight, ***even if we have to cancel our flight and it’s not flyable (decision will be made by 3pm today, Labor Day, Monday September 4)*** we will have one balloon, one pilot and some crew on site at the Upper Middle Falls area of the park no matter what. We will be on site by 6:00. We will open our cabin for apparel and merchandise sales, be available for meet and greet, and to answer questions. It’s possible we inflate or even give tethered rides—again, even if we have to cancel our passenger flights—and if WIND and weather conditions are EXACTLY right to do so!
We hope to meet many of you out there this evening! ...

Did you know that our flight times are at sunrise and a bit before sunset? That’s because typically, the wind is calmest at those times. And for ballooning, calm winds are one of the many important factors we consider before calling a flight on. Our top priority is the safety of our passengers, crew and pilots!
