Hotels in Cyprus

It is a fact that a hot air balloon can only fly in one direction and that is whatever way, the wind is blowing. Did you realise, however, that some skilled pilots of a hot air balloon can actually fly in one direction and then completely turn the balloon around to fly in the opposite direction. The reason some pilots can do this is, they can elevate the balloon to find layers of air that flow in different directions, when they find such a layer they simply stay at this altitude and fly in that other direction.

Most pleasure flights, fly at about six thousand feet, staying well out of the way of balloon flights natural enemy, power lines. Most pilots will be looking for a suitable place to land, this huge craft, as soon as they take off. When they are in the air they can spot safe places to land miles away.

The pilot is in constant radio contact with his ground crew, they work very hard in trying to keep up with the balloon in flight. A hot air balloon can reach some very high speeds when flying, depending on wind speed of course.

A hot air balloon can be inflated and ready to fly in only ten to fifteen minutes, the burners produce some very high temperatures and are very efficient, often a couple of spare burner gas canisters are carried in the basket of the balloon. Safety is the pilots and crews main concern, they are there to make your balloon experience enjoyable, they will want to see you come back again.
