Have you ever flown in a hot air balloon?

[CharmedPhoenix]

no i have not but i always wanted to try it but i really hate heights and it seems scary but the best moments come from the craziest ideas 

If you've ridden in an elevator you've already experienced the sensation of ascent and descent.  Some landings are bumpy, but sometimes you go softly into the hands of the crew.  It's absolutely peaceful and calm up there floating along.  Great photo op.  If there are houses where people are waking up you can hear everything they say.  Of course the dogs need to sound the alarm.  Cows don't look up, they just move to avoid the shadow.

Now that is a great question.  I have never flown in a hot air balloon, and am pretty sure I never will.  It sounds kinda expensive.

I haven't flown in one, but I lived in Albuquerque, and I always went to see the hot air balloons when they went up!

The most expensive flights are from Fiesta field during Fiesta.  Other times and places are cheaper.  The cheapest is to get an invite from a pilot or crew person to join them and fly for free.

I have never flown in one but would love to see them all take off at a ballooning festival. There is one every year and I need to make time to go and see them, I'm sure it's beautiful

I like your question - it's different and not one easy to think of!  I have never flown in one.  I'm too leery of risking myself with heights.  But they are beautiful!  In one neighborhood we lived in several years ago, there used to be balloons that would fly in a path that always always seem to go over our houses.  We'd hear the whooshing sound and would all run out to watch and wave at them.  One time one of them came a little too close to the roof tops  - they were having problems with the wind that day.  That was a weird moment.

Seeing all the balloons in the big field area getting ready to take off is really neat.  It's amazing to see all the different creations and colors they come up with.

no and never plan on doing it. scares me!

I have never been in one and really have no desire to do so. 

Quite a few years ago I was in my house and all of a sudden it seemed like a big dark cloud was going over the house.  I went outside and there were at least 20 hot air balloons going over, some of them not very high.  It was a fantastic sight.

No, but would like to one day.
