What an amazing experience! My husband and I booked this adventure to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Our pilot Morghan, crew chief James and the rest of the flight crew were simply awesome, very informative, comforting and funny. The flight and landing were so smooth. The desert sunset and candlelight post-flight snacks, champagne and anniversary cake along with the history of ballooning and reading of the balloonists prayer was so special. Thank you for making this such a memorable day. Can’t wait to fly again. Cheers.
