I have been going to watch balloon races for years and have always been memorized by the beauty of them flying overhead. I finally got the chance to ride myself and the feeling of lifting off from the ground was amazing! Michael was a fantastic pilot and explained every step of the flight from the inflation to the packing up.(I had actually asked about flying in a specific direction to see my house and although I know you must go where the wind takes you, he was able to lift to a height where the wind took us closer to my house.) amazing skills and really went above my expectations. I would fly with him anytime.
