    The kids and I celebrated my birthday with a hot air balloon ride with Aerostat. We had a great…read moretime! This was our first experience with ballooning and we didn't know what to expect, but Ellen and Gene were super helpful in walking us through the process, and thoroughly answering all of our (well, mainly me..) questions. The flight was very smooth from take-off to landing! Gene did a great job piloting the balloon and Ellen flawlessly provided ground crew support. Unlike the aerial views from an airplane, where it's difficult to see the details of terrain because of the higher altitude, the aerial views from the hot air balloon were very clear and distinguishable. We flew over the Champion's Gate area and the flight lasted about 50 minutes. I brought my DSLR camera, but an modern mobile phone camera would work just as well. Although, at that height, I wish I had a neck strap for my iPhone.. Couple of other things from memory to share: - Our ride started at 6:15 am, which was really cool because we got to watch the sunrise in the balloon - At the altitude we were flying at (~400 ft), it was not cold in the gondola (balloon basket) as I initially expected. It was actually somewhat hot - because when the pilot triggers the propane burner to heat the air, the hot air radiates in all directions - including heating the air above the basket. - We had very calm winds, so the balloon was moving between 5-10 mph. I didn't initially know what speed to expect, but the slower speed made for a very smooth ride. - Ballooning is a regulated industry, so operators must perform annual inspections on their equipment. I felt safe the entire time. - Gene has over 9 yrs experience as a balloon pilot so he's well-trained. I was thoroughly impressed by how smooth the landing was. - You meet up the Aerostat crew at a predetermined location, and they take you in a van to the launch site and they drive you back. - At the end of the flight, they provide you with champagne, orange juice, and some cookies as a token of appreciation for flying with them. I would definitely fly with Aerostat in the future.

They are extremely well trained and know what they are doing. The ride smooth and the view was amazing-- it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. They even had mimosas and snacks waiting for us when we landed. Would definitely recommend.

I was assured by The female at the desk that this would be no problem. I arrived on time each day and prepared for flight training. I received 2.9 hours of training and then I was informed they had pre-booked charters and would not be able to accommodate me the rest of those hours. I spoke with the lady at the front desk about this situation and we agreed that I would be billed only for the hours received. I received a partial refund and then within two hours the refund was taken back out of my account and I received a text message from the company that stated the owner didn't feel comfortable giving me a partial refund. This company was fully aware of my situation and did not honor their word. This company took my money under false pretenses, and payment was made for services NOT RENDERED!!!! I immediately called my credit card company and explain the situation and started a dispute. Anyone looking to get there sea plane ratings I would advise from my experience do not use this company. They are not a reputable company and they lack honesty and integrity. Next day I went to Jack Brown's seaplane base in winter haven Florida I was amazed and I found the staff was amazing and most of all had integrity. After two hours of flight time the Cfi was ready to sign me off, but we could not get a DPE that day and I was flying out the next morning. I found Jack Brown's Sea Plane base to be everything that you could ever ask for in a company for Sea Plane operation. I will be going back to Jack Brown's to fly again in the future highly recommend Jack Brown.

    Such an amazing experience!…read more My dear friend and I are photographers and travel bloggers from California, and wanted to experience a flight at sunset. It was easy to book less than a week in advance. Not possible in LA or SF! Garry was in constant contact with us, and confirmed our flight in a quick and efficient manner. Since we have flown over San Francisco and Los Angeles with the doors off, we wanted to have that advantage point as well on this flight. Garry was happy to oblige and removed all the doors for us, giving us freedom to photograph and lean out (in a safe manner, while belted into the helicopter!) Garry is such a friendly gentleman- putting us at ease with his knowledge and experience! The flight was absolutely perfect and a dream in every way. We ventured over Cocoa Beach, the banana river, the pier, and Port Canaveral. The sky was absolutely stunning! The whole experience at Beachside Helicopters was absolutely amazing from the initial contact to post flight! Could not have wished for a better time! Can't wait for our next flight up!

You will sit in the front seat of the aerobatic glider with the best visibility ever. You and the clouds. We'll be towed by an airplane high in the sky and then we'll begin our dance in the blue. There's no words to explain what you feel during a stall turn in a glider: no sound, no gravity. You go from heavenly moments to super action like in the loop or the barrel roll. Feel like an astronaut in the long zero gravity curve and feel the G force of a combat pilot in a fighter. All this in the Florida skies, above the lakes and the green swamps, just 14 miles west of Disney. Bring your GoPro or use ours. You'll want to share this with your friends! I also do Glider Aerobatics Training, from Basic to Unlimited. And i teach Unusual Attitudes and Spin Training to glider pilots.
