About Us
We are passionate about the sport of hot air ballooning. Our pilot, Mike Wadley, holds an FAA certified Commercial LTA rating and has been flying balloons for 30 years. He is a second generation balloon pilot and his family has a collective 1,900 hours of flight time in hot air balloons. Mike previously served as the president of the Gateway Aerostatic Association, the premier ballooning organization in St. Louis, and is an active member of the Balloon Federation of America. He has flown in Austria and several states in the US, and routinely participates in balloon events throughout the country, including the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Mike has a perfect safety record, attends annual safety and continuing education seminars, and has provided flight and ground instruction to several pilots.
​
Our aircrafts were manufactured by Lindstrand Balloons in Illinois, and Cameron Balloons in Michigan, and they are inspected annually by a FAA certified repair station.

Regular Shape Tethers &
Tether Rides
Whether you are looking for a balloon to tether as part of a larger event, or you want us to be the main form of entertainment, we can meet your needs.
A static tether does not leave the ground, while tether rides provide passengers with a short ride to about 50 feet above the ground. We look forward to being part of your special event.
