Exciting Soaring Adventures

Want to add some excitement to your day? Why not go on a hot-air balloon, soaring glider or tandem skydiving ride?

Hot Air Balloon Rides
Soaring Adventures of America, Inc., www.800soaring.com, with more than 22 years of experience and a 100 percent safety record, offers hot-air balloon rides. They feature hour-long balloon rides beneath clouds, through mountains and valleys, over treetops, winding rivers and waterfalls -- wherever the wind goes.

The crew chief will take you to the launch site, where you can watch the balloon being inflated. Each ride ascends between 500 to 1,000 feet and covers five to 10 miles, soaring through nature and offering breathtaking views. Rides end with a celebration toast of champagne or fruit juice upon landing, an old French tradition. Each ride is led by a commercially certified, FAA-trained pilot.

Soaring Glider Rides
Soar quietly and peacefully above the highest peaks in a silent glider that seats the pilot and one or two passengers.

The soaring glider ride for two lets you and your loved one experience the ride together, and you can even take the controls to fly the glider.

Skydiving
Perhaps you enjoy the exhilarating feeling of skydiving. With tandem skydiving, you don't have to be an expert skydiver. After training, you will be jumping out of a plane two miles above ground attached to an expert skydiver, freefalling for several minutes before landing safely with a parachute.

Soaring Adventures of America, Inc. offers gift certificates you can use for up to two years at any of their 200 locations in the United States. For more information, visit www.800soaring.com or call (800) SOARING or (800) 762-7464.
