Ballooning is absolutely another dimension, compared to boarding a plane. Every single minute is an experience that you will remember for a lifetime. 

 

We are the only local ballooning company here in Estonia, there are 2 pilots and 2 new balloons in our club.

We allow skydinging, paragliding jumps and different stunts to be performed, too.

Duration of the flight itself is usually 45-60 minutes (depending on the landing site available) but all the event needs 4 hours, from the point of our meeting, until returning there, with our retrieval car. 

Normally, flights are done at dawn, taking off at sunrise. Sometimes, evening flights are also possible. In winter months, daytime flights can be done. 

Often, the launch place could be even one’s courtyard, if the location and wind direction permits. 

We are operating all the year round, except during rainy and muddy seasons. 

Generally, the greatest hindrance is the wind, that should not exceed 4 m/s on the ground. 

Being dealers of CZ Kubicek factory, we can help with procurements and, even ballooning pilot training. 

NB! No tethered flights, except just for nightglow events. Also, we do not sell any tickets through mediating platforms.

All passengers/skydivers will receive our club annual subscription.

Ballooning history

Joseph Montgolfier and his younger brother Etienne Montgolfier from France are the fathers of ballooning.

Once in November 1782, Joseph noticed that his shirt, which he was holding by the collar over the fire inflated, and then an original idea came to his mind. Firstly they made a silk tegument of one solid metre. Warmed up over the fire the silk balloon rose into the height of 30 metres.

When their first balloons became already bigger, the inventors decided to let a duck, rooster and sheep for the first flight.

This happened in Versailles in September 1783. The rise was watched by king of France Louis XVI. After the flight, which lasted 5 minutes, the animals landed sound in Vancresson (3 kilometres away).

The first tethered balloon flight with humans on board took place on October 19, 1783 with the scientist Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier and a papermill worker Andre Giroud de Villette on board, at the Folie Titon in Paris.

On 21st November 1783, the first manned free flight was performed.

King Louis XVI had originally decreed that condemned criminals would be the first pilots, but Pilatre de Rozier and Marquis d'Ariandes successfully petitioned for the honor.

They rose by Etienne Mongolfier's balloon of 2200 solid meters in Muette (Paris) and landed in la Butte aux Cailles, 10 km away. The flight lasted 25 minutes, the balloon rose to the altitude of 1000 meters. To maintain the necessary heat wet straw, old material strips and rotten meat were burnt.

On 22nd October 1797, Andre-Jacques Garnerin made the first parachute jump from the balloon. It was also done in Paris, from altitude of 400 meters.
