The 70 ft Patriot is ready to lift off into gentle winds.
Welcome to the home of the 70FT Patriot Hot Air Balloon. We float over the foliage of the Merrimack Valley in New Hampshire as often as Mother Nature allows: Safety first. We are blessed to live just 35 minutes North of Boston, Massachusetts in an area of the country where there is no lack of postcard like scenery. Absorbing such breath taking views, often leads to a life time of pleasant visual memories. Live Free to Fly!
The actual launch of a Hot Air Balloon ride takes no more than half an hour after arrival at the launch site. The balloon and basket are carried in a trailer. Once at the launch site the basket and dual burner frame system is assembled by the pilot and balloon crew. The hot air balloon 's 30 million Btu burners are test fired by the pilot. The basket is laid on it's side, and the Patriot's red white and blue fabric is pulled out of it's bag. Steel cables from the 'envelope' are attached. The balloon is inflated with an industrial fan and the whole system is given a 'walk around' inspection by the pilot. Up to 5 passengers get in and the balloon lifts off the ground effortlessly. The exhilarating Hot Air Balloon Ride begins! The sites you see during the flight are more than memorable, America's Stonehenge, Searles Castle and Canobie Lake Park are just a few of the landmarks we may float over during your foliage filled balloon ride.
We complete the adventure with a champagne celebration followed by a tasty picnic!
