June 22, 2010 Hi Ellen, Just writing to say what a wonderful time Lori and I had Sunday on our balloon ride with Dean. It was a blast! Lori’s birthday was on Friday and this was the grand finale of a long weekend of fun. She didn’t have a clue until Sunday morning. We both had a great time, helping setup up, the flight, and even the adventurous landing as the Orlando Balloon ‘bounced’ off of us when they were landing. Thank you for a great experience and please thank Dean and Ed for a wonderful time. We will be posting a comment on your site very soon but wanted you to know what a great time we had and want to share some of the pictures from our flight. Feel free to use any of the attached pictures as you see fit. I have high resolution pictures as well if you want them, but had to make these smaller for emailing. Thank you again, Steve and Lori
June 27, 2010 Anna and I would like to relay our thanks and our appreciation for you and all you help as well as your amazing staff! A hot-air balloon ride has always been Anna's dream and you guys helped make that a reality. Thank you SO much! We plan on coming back soon! We got some really good pictures of her and I.
Again, thanks so much for such an amazingly well done adventure! Sincerely - Jason and Anna
June 30, 2010 Hi Ellen, I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time my husband and I had on 06-29-10. Dean and Ed were GREAT!!!!! I was a little afraid to go on the ride but Dean was very funny and made me feel at ease. Ed made sure we had plenty of photos to remember our ride, and he also is a funny guy. The treats after the ride were also very good. I made sure I took photos of the two guys setting the table, something you don't see to often. Dealing with your company from the get go was a pleasure and you can be sure I will recommend your company to our friends and family. Thanks again for having such Great employees and making our Anniversary special. Joe and Mary Kay
We took our first ride on Tuesday 4/6 and what an amazing experience from start to finish. The ride itself was so relaxing and the views were unbelievable! We can't say enough about our crew Dean and Joel. Dean shared many stories as well as sharing his knowledge about ballooning itself. I think Joel knew where we were going to land before Dean did :)They both made this awesome experience even more enjoyable. Thanks to all who made this a wonderful memory. Hope we can fly again some day.
Ken, Bill, Denise and Denise
Ellen! You guys are INCREDIBLE!! I'm getting ready to add some pics for you guys. Thanks again for everything, Bill, Dean, and everyone else who helped. Rachel and I couldn't be happier! You guys helped fill 2 of her biggest dreams within one day!

Hi, we took a balloon ride with you last year and we are back in Orlando 27th August 2010.
I want to book another flight for around the 30th August, but this time for 6 people instead of 4. I know it is a long way off, but I like to be sure that you can take 6 people etc. It was one of the best experiences we have ever had and we have been to the Parks/Florida 6 times since 1996. Cheers Martin
We had a great time! Thanks Dave and Ellen!!!!!! Sabrina & Steve
Bob & I had a wonderful time Sat. Thanks David for a safe flight! Godspeed till we fly again. Rita

Dear Ellen...
WOW!! What a truly amazing way to start celebrating my 60th birthday on the 22 April 2009. My husband John and I cannot thank everyone enough for such a memorable experience. The adrenalin was certainly working overtime. Our pilot Don and Ed made the whole experience one we will never forget. Our certificates are now taking pride of place in our cabinet at home and we can't wait to do it again. Please pass on our sincere thanks to all concerned for making a dream come true. Best regards Patricia & John Myers. Willington. County Durham. UK.
Hi Ellen and all of the Aerostat Adventures Crew...Mike and I wanted to let you know what an incredibly wonderful experience we had on our Balloon Flight on October 17, 2008. The pilot, on our trip, Dean, was so professional, informational, and yes...fun! Ed, our ground crew, was right there to greet us when we landed and help us celebrate our flight! Our flight "mates" were fun and enjoyed the flight as much as we did. Needless to say the flight its self was so breathtaking and any fear or trepidation left us once we were in the air. Please convey our thanks to Dean and to Ed and to your husband who gave up a day off to take us up on one of our scheduled flights, however it was canceled due to bad weather. Many thanks to you for helping me arrange the initial birthday surprise, for Mike, and for all of the scheduling! I am sure there are many, many behind the scene things that must be done to make the event happen and we thank you! Mike and Chris Smith

Our family is looking forward to flying with you again the next time we are in the USA. Thanks again! Colin, Dublin Ireland
I just wanted to e-mail to say a massive thank you for the wonderful balloon ride that was organised for my husband, Stuart, and I. Don (the pilot) was great and managed to put Stuart at ease, which was a challenge as he was very nervous!!!
The whole experience was absolutely wonderful and something that we will definitely do again one day. The calm and serenity of the environment is one that can only be experienced in such a ride. Wishing you all well. --Kelly
Hi Ellen, Just arrived back home in the UK and would like to let you know that the balloon flight was great. Could not have asked for a better pilot than Don, would recommend him and your service to anyone. Thanks again. --John, United Kingdom
I just want to thank you one more time for the wonderful experience that Mary and I had on our ride. I have a "to do list" of the adventures I have yet to get done. Hot air balloon ride is now crossed off that list - but I might add hang gliding as that looked like it might be a hoot too. Best wishes to you and all the crew, --Catherine-Severn, Maryland
Just a short note to say thank you for a most enjoyable experience. Our flight yesterday was just awesome! You can be sure we are going to recommend you to our friends. -- Tom & Mary O'Conner_Fort Mc Coy, FL
What an amazing adventure! We had a marvelous time. I can’t wait until our boys are old enough to go up on a flight with us and experience this whole new perspective of the world. Thank you so much!! --.Kerrie & Scott- Daytona Beach, FL
We just wanted to thank you again for a wonderful flight. You guys were great it was worth every penny. It will be something Kris and I will remember for the rest of our lives, or at least til the next flight. Which I want to be soon.?? Again thanks so much! – John and Stacy-- Ormond Beach, Florida
Wow! What a great ride we had today. This was truly an experience of a lifetime. We enjoyed assisting your team in the setup and break down and of course, we found the amazing views peaceful and thought-provoking.
