Join the Crew!

Hot air ballooning is a wonderful sport that brings people together from all walks of life.    Many people experience ballooning for the first time as passengers, then want to “join the action” by volunteering for a balloon crew to become more involved in the sport.    It’s a great way to make new friends, learn new skills and get some fresh air and exercise.

Balloon Odyssey schedules flights every evening, weather permitting, as well as weekend mornings.    Generally, the balloon crew and pilot meet at our office in Middletown two and a half hours before sunset, to prepare for the flight.    For morning flights, we meet just before sunrise.    The pilot checks the weather prior to meeting and calls the crew to confirm the meeting time or cancel the flight due to inclement weather.

We have a very skilled, seasoned crew to accompany and teach you.    And you can join us as it fits your schedule – for the occasional flight or as a “regular.”    We email our crew members once a week with our schedule to allow everyone to choose what days they want to crew, and allow us to cover business demands.

We love to share our sport with others, and would enjoy speaking to you about joining us on a flight.    Please contact Brian Beazly at (502) 245-1588 or via email at balodyssey@insightbb.com for details.
