Windrifter Ballooning

Search Saratoga Springs New York

The balloon is operated under the Federal Aviation Regulations. The system is inspected every year or 100 hours of flying time by a certified FAA inspector. The Pilot is licensed by the FAA as a Commercial Pilot. It takes a crew of 4-6 people about 30 minutes to assemble & inflate a balloon, about the same time it takes to deflate and pack up the system after a flight. A "Chase Crew" follows the balloon in flight to pack up the system and return everyone to the launch site.
