Have you ever wondered how we get these beautiful balloons up and in the sky? Well it takes you, our amazing crew to come help! We need 4 crew per balloon. 1 person turns the fan on stays by the fan and turns it off, 2 people hold the opening of the balloon (the throat) open while the fan pushes the cold air in, and 1 person holds the line at the top of the balloon to keep it from rolling (the crown line). Afterwards we pack the balloon back into the bag and truck or trailer.
These are super simple ways to help out! Come on out offer to help out and be a part of the fun! We cannot do it without crew. Who knows, you could get ‘the bug’ and become a pilot like me!
We are always looking for crew to help with our accessible balloon flights. We do them at sunrise, weather permitting, over the Temecula Valley Southern California Wine Country. Our balloons are uniquely configured to allow a wheelchair in or sit a person in our VIP chair with a harness. We share the joy of ballooning with people of all abilities.
We are also a register 501c3 foundation and qualify for community service hours for those that need that.
