Description

Specialties

Soaring Adventures of America, Inc. is a network of 200 FAA Commercially Certified Pilots who give Hot Air Balloon Rides, Glider Rides and Skydiving Rides nationwide. When the customer purchases a Flight Ticket they receive a poster of the Balloon, Glider and Parachute and list of the pilot’s names, companies and contact information. They can set up their flight at any location, anytime in the next 18 months. It makes a great gift, or fun for yourself.

History

Established in 1980.

Soaring Adventures started giving Glider Rides in 1980. Fifteen years later, in 1995, we added Ballooning and Skydiving. The balloon rides are a full hour in the air and are three hours from launch to celebration landing. Soaring and Skydiving are lots of fun, too, for the more adventurous. All our pilots and aircraft are FAA Commercially Certified. We give almost 20,000 rides a year. Welcome Aboard.

Business Owner

Rob W, a pilot and aviation enthusiast, established Soaring Adventures in 1980. During the following 35 years he built a network of 200 pilots who give balloon, glider and skydiving rides nationwide. Rob himself, at age 79 still manages the company and gives some glider rides each summer at a grass runway on Martha’s Vineyard, MA. Over the years he has given Glider Rides to about 6,000 people.

One other thing. Although some of these reviews are awful, there are only 5 or 6 in a two year period, and we give almost 20,000 rides a year. The compliments all go to the pilot during the champagne toast at the end of the flight.
