Carrots

 

We discovered this balloon had received the name "Carrots" by children in my neighborhood.  Confused, I asked them about it and was quickly shown that the orange and green form the shape of a carrot, 14 in total, something I had never noticed during the first three years i flew it, it's funny how perspective changes with age.  The name was changed immediately.

Safety

Safety is Quechee Balloon Rides primary concern. Our balloons and equipment are inspected annually or every 100 flight hours (which ever comes first) by FAA certified repair facilities. During this process every inch of fabric is visually examined and every different color is tested for both strength and porosity. Our balloons meet all regulations set by the FAA and manufacturer. Both our passenger carrying balloons feature some of the safest and most reliable equipment on the market, and both feature TWO separate and independent burner & fuel systems maximizing safety by redundancy.
