The name says it all: "Aero" — from aerostat, the historic term for lighter-than-air aircraft — plus "rising", for the feeling of leaving the ground behind.
Every Aerizing eXperience™ follows the wind, so no two flights look exactly alike — but here's the shape a flight day usually takes.
Flights happen in the calm air of early morning or the golden light of sunset. We meet at the launch site, unload the balloon, and the crew gets to work laying it out and inflating it while you watch the balloon come to life right in front of you.
Once the balloon is standing tall, the pilot runs through a systems check, everyone boards the basket, and you'll get a full safety briefing before we ever leave the ground.
Up we go. The pilot works the altitude to give you the best view of landmarks, scenery, wildlife, and terrain — from treetop level to a wide-open view of the horizon.
This is the part you came for — extended sightseeing over the Piedmont countryside before we start looking for the right spot to bring it back down.
After landing, take a moment to reflect and celebrate — toast included. It's a tradition as old as ballooning itself, and the perfect way to close out your Aerizing eXperience™.
