Short Description: Hot Air Balloon Rides in NJ
Long Description: One of the best experiences you can give yourself or another person is the gift of flight. The wonder of floating above the earth in a hot air balloon is something that can not be described, it has to be experienced.
Come fly with Captain Jack over the beautiful landscape of Hunterdon County, NJ.
...experience the elegance and the excitement of an Avian AdVenture!
You are invited to share in an adventure in which mankind has participated for more than two centuries. It was a hot air balloon that first carried mankind on his first flight aloft. Join us as we drift along in gentle breezes on an uncharted course where the destination is irrelevant, the trip is everything. During the flight you will not experience a sensation of climbing, or feeling of motion; only silence and a deep reverence of God's majesty and power. Our adVenture will take us over New Jersey's best kept secret, Hunterdon County, where you will view the rolling hills filled with wildlife, see streams, lakes, ponds, trees and farms. You will experience New Jersey from a different prospective, the way it used to be. Our flight will take us to heights from which one can see distant landmarks in New York and Pennsylvania, or fly low enough to gather leaves from the trees and talk to the people on the ground. To add to your ballooning experience, you are invited to become part of our crew. A hands on participation is encouraged. Our pilots are also FAA certified instructors; you will be guided through every step of the balloon experience.
Our adVenture will take approximately two and half to three hours. Your experience starts with the exciting inflation of the eight story balloon, a system check, the flight, landing, recovery, drive back to our origination and concludes with a toast. You arrive as a customer and leave as a friend.
From the first balloon flights, champagne was offered as an appeasement to the frightened farmers and landowners. This delightful tradition continues today. We complete each flight with a bottle to the landowner as well as a champagne toast to our adVenture. Your guests are welcome to participate in your balloon experience as part of the chase crew and also our champagne toast and hors d'oeuvres concluding our flight.
Testimonials: Risa and Edye celebrated their 60th birthday with a Hot Air Balloon Ride.
"The ride was great. Calm and beautiful. Of course the excitement centered around searching for a place to land and the eventual landing itself. The cows we met were quite surprised but tolerated it well! Jim was terrific and most professional, and we felt safe all the way. The crew was very pleasant as well. Thanks for a good and safe time. I would gladly recommend you to anyone who was interested". Risa
Douglas completed his 200 jump from my balloon.
"This past Sunday, I had the ride of a lifetime. I made my 200th jump from a hot air balloon, thanks to Capt. Jack of Avian Adventures"........"Next time, I promised myself, I've got to stay in that balloon." Douglas Kiang
Balloon-Barbecue-Bonfire Ad-venture for the Kent's
"We searched for a ballooning web site in December of 1998 and came across Captain Jack's immediately. After reading through it we knew we had to get our group signed up as soon as possible. We sent in a deposit for sixteen people in January of 1999. The date I chose was June 5th. We've found through experience that it's never too early to make a commitment for a big event.
Captain Jack corresponded with us by e-mail and by phone through out the end of winter right up to the day of the launch. His attention to detail kept us at ease. A party this size needs a good coordinator to keep everything on track. Everything was meticulously planned out. Our numbers grew from sixteen to twenty one passengers, and the event blossomed from a simple balloon trip to a balloon-barbecue-bon fire adventure!
When the big day came we couldn't have asked for better weather. We were very fortunate, because this spring had some unusual wind conditions.
Balloon flights take place in the early morning or early evening when the winds are much calmer. Our group required seven balloons. We were introduced to our pilots, and soon after we took a hayride to the launch site. We whooped with excitement when we saw those balloon inflating! We knew that the adventure was just minutes away and that we would soon fly away with the wind. The site of those balloons taking off was astounding!
If you have a hunch that you'd like to go on a balloon ride we bet you can think of a lot of people who would love to join you. We found that out when we sent in a deposit for sixteen people to go flying with Captain Jack. My wife and I knew we could get at least sixteen people to join us, and when the big day came we had twenty-one people flying and five joining the chase crews! To top of the evening flight Captain Jack arranged to have a barbecue and bon fire for our group. My parents came for the ride too, and since it was their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary Captain Jack had a chocolate cake made in the shape of a balloon in their honor. The sites we saw, people we met, and fun the whole group had has made memories that will last a lifetime. What a blast!
We couldn't write this without thanking the pilots and their crews. These people deserve a special recognition for their professionalism, enthusiasm, courtesy, and dedication to the sport of ballooning".
"Thank you all!" Kent and Caroline Smith |
