Give the gift of a hot air balloon ride
Up, up and away!
Today’s featured Indiana Originals member is Midwest Balloon Rides:
Midwest Balloon Rides offers hot air balloon flights, tethers, photo fun, pre-dawn flights, downtown flights, and hometown flights. Need a unique place to pop the question or get married? You can do that in the balloon, too! The pilot is also a licensed minister!
The entire balloon ride experience will last approximately 3 hours that will include watching the hot air balloon take shape and prepare for lift off. You will then float through the sky for about 1 hour seeing surreal views that cannot be seen from any other location. Upon touching back on the ground you will have the opportunity to help us pack the balloon up.
Tony Sandlin is the owner & chief pilot of Midwest Balloon Rides and is the current President of the Professional Ride Operators Association of the US.
Tony became involved in ballooning in 1989 as a crew-member after answering an ad in the Thrifty Nickel Newspaper looking for a person to join a hot air balloon crew team. From there he studied to become a private pilot and then became a commercial hot air balloon pilot in 2005. Tony has been flying balloons for 15 years, logged just over 1700 hours of flight time and has flown 20,460 people.http://midwestballoonrides.com/https://www.facebook.com/MidwestBalloonRides
