"I had dreamed for years about 'someday' taking a hot air balloon flight. My terrific husband surprised me with a 60th birthday flight. It was even more thrilling than my conjured-up expectations! The champagne and goodies after the flight were frosting on a delightful 'cake'."

Patricia Daehler, Springfield, OR


"All phases from start to finish were carried out in a professional, safe manner."

Ralph Daehler, Springfield, OR


"Your whole crew is magnificent - friendly, warm, don't change a thing!"

Elizabeth Bremer, Lincoln City, OR


"A few years ago my husband and I had the opportunity to fly with you and getting up at the crack of dawn and driving 30 minute to Newberg - I thought for this amount of money can't we sleep in a little?? But once I arrived and saw the action and the explanation of what, how and why you do everything was so great - so interesting to see the actual process of it all. I will recommend you to everyone I see - because it truly was an experience of a lifetime and what a way to see this beautiful area we live in!"

Cindy Hausner - Peppertree Inn, Beaverton

"What I liked best about my adventure was the warmth and friendliness of everyone from my original telephone call to the end of the flight. I have told many people about it."

Isabel Bolden, Portland, OR


"It was peaceful and relaxing and at the same time incredibly exciting. Nice to have a very skilled pilot and enthusiastic ground crew. I was nervous because I fear heights. Fortunately, I experienced no problems!"

Norm Baird, Portland, OR


"I was not afraid after lift off. It felt very secure - no feeling of going up or down."

Joyce Becker, Portland, OR


"I get motion sickness and wasn't sure how the ride would be but it was great!"

Ruth Palmer, Newberg, OR


"...It was fun to participate in inflating the balloons and preparing for take off."

Elizabeth Carr Donnelly, West Linn, OR


"The post-flight celebration was very elegant - enjoyed visiting with the pilots and crew - everyone was friendly and informative!"

Terry Lewis, Gladstone, OR


"I liked the view, looking down at the crops and down on the fir trees - beautiful. It was exciting trying to determine where to land. The champagne toast was very special and it was an appropriate end, sharing tradition with us! I was impressed and wish more people would experience the whole trip."

Belinda Renwith, Lake Oswego, OR
