We take the privelege of flying SERIOUSLY.
Our pilots - as
a condition of emploment - must lead 100% alcohol, drug free and heart healthy lifestyles
and are subject to random testing.
At Balloon
America we're much more than just a balloon tour company - we're full time
professional aviators
involved
in many different aspects of the aviation business. We're the only balloon tour company in the Southwestern US
that requires our pilots to have current FAA issued medical certificates - proving that they are heart healthy and drug
free, meeting the same standards that are required of commercial airline pilots - even though there is no regulation
requiring this!
Our
FAA Certified Commercial Pilots are ready when you are to fulfill ANY request for aerial adventure!
Our uniformed professional FAA Certified Commercial Pilots undergo rigorous
training and pass verbal, flight proficiency and written tests administered by the Federal Aviation Administration.
In addition to US Certification they hold British (CAA) licenses as well. Our pilots have professional expertise in many
different fields of aviation including, balloons, fixed wing and airships. (blimps) We have over 6000 hours and 28 years of experience flying
in Arizona desert and Colorado high altitude mountain flying. Our flight record is 100% perfect.
In 28 years of business we have never had an accident, incident or even a broken finger nail.
We challenge anyone
to prove otherwise.
