YOU can do this!

If you thought flying in a balloon was amazing, wait til you try flying the balloon yourself. You're in control of a gentle giant floating across the countryside. Fire the powerful burner and you're on your way up, come down to get a closer look or to change direction with the wind. Careful, it's addictive!

Who can learn to fly? People from all walks of life fly balloons. Generally speaking, earning a license requires exercising sound judgment; being able to speak English, taking flight instruction, passing both a written and flight test, and having no disqualifying medical condition.

You may want to take a look at a few Balloon Pilot Schools' websites. Then, here's a list of where to go for a hot air balloon pilot flight exam.

I'm looking for a BFA member who'd like to expand this section to describe the full range of learning to fly, including links to flight training resources. Please let me know in the comments below if you're interested, or drop me an email. Thanks, Rick Jones.
