Bucket list experience and 5 star at that.
Met at designated hotel (we stayed across the freeway at a different one) and where greeted and got all the 'legal paperwork' signed and loaded into vans for about a 15 minute drive to the launch sight.
Our pilot was Paul, who has been doing this for 20+ years, so he calmed my nerves with his knowledge and safety guidelines.
Perfect weather for take off, flying and landing.
So cool to be able to fly about Colorado Springs Airport and be ABOVE planes taking off and landing.
Back on the ground, offered everyone water and orange juice and champagne, along with your flight certificate.
And dropped back off at the hotel.
HIGHLY recommend Rainbow Ryders.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us this review. We’re happy to hear that you had a great experience with us. Paul is an excellent pilot and he is great at making his passengers feel safe, secure, and happy during their flights with us. Ballooning can be somewhat unnerving to some people, but with our great pilots and crew you are always in good hands! We hope that you can come out and fly with us again sometime!
