I'm so glad to hear the great report on Thompson Aire. I have reservations for a flight with them in Sept. I'm afraid of heights but have always wanted to do this, so I hope the weather cooperates and I can conquer my fear and have a great time! btw....I'm a little overweight and have problems with my knees, so I have been wondering...just how do you get in the basket? Should I practice just falling over the edge of something onto my head so I can attempt to get graceful at it??

LOL. There is no graceful way to get into the basket! I crew for a hot air balloon and you pretty much have to crawl over the side. The crew should be real helpful as they've got lots of experience getting people in the basket. Have fun on your flight. It's an amazing adventure!

Thank you! I think it'll be a great time!

My granddaughter and I took our trip Sept 20, with Thompson Aire. It was an awesome flight! I told Jeff, the pilot/owner about my fear of heights and he explained why most people have that fear or vertigo and said I should have no problems on the flight. He was right. I did not have any fear of falling or sensation of vertigo or anything. There are holes made in the side of the basket to help you step into the basket for the flight and he has seats to sit on, so I think that helped with not having to stand by the edge of the basket. The scenery was awesome! Jeff and his crew, it was Steve, the day we went, were great in making you feel comfortable and informed. I would recommend them to anyone!
