Hot air balloons are constructed from a material that shares similarities with that of windbreakers, yet it possesses distinct characteristics. The fabric used in hot air balloon construction is engineered to offer superior tensile strength, allowing it to withstand considerable stress before tearing. Additionally, this specialized material is capable of enduring temperatures of up to 250°F, ensuring the safety and longevity of the balloon during operation.

We utilize standard propane for our operations. Double Vision is outfitted with two 15-gallon propane tanks positioned in opposite corners of the basket.

We have a pair of burners connected to a propane supply under pressure. As the propane is heated, it is expelled and ignited, producing the necessary heat to inflate the hot air balloon.

Balloon takeoffs are strategically planned based on prevailing wind direction. It is important to acknowledge that as altitude increases, both wind direction and speed can vary. During training, pilots learn to effectively navigate these wind patterns to reach their desired destination.

Seek out balloons, follow them to their landing site, and extend an offer for future assistance.
