Winter Flight Availability

Posted in on October 22, 2008

For many years Aerosaurus Balloons have provided visitors to their web site the facility to view forthcoming flights and reserve dates online. Previously, owing to the main flying season for hot air balloons in the UK being from April to October, this facility has not operated during the winter months.

The last 3 winters has shown that with the confused weather patterns we are experiencing more settled weather in winter than previously, and more unsettled, often very wet, weather in the so called “best weather” months of May – August. As a consequence this winter Aerosaurus Balloons intend to operate a Winter Flight Schedule to service both existing balloon flight voucher holders, and private/exclusive groups, these flights being able to be viewed and booked either by phone or Flight Availability online.

Aerosaurus Helps Local Charity, Devon Air Ambulance

Posted in on October 15, 2008

On the 12th of September Aerosaurus gave away two hot air balloon flight vouchers to Devon Air Ambulance for their annual charity ball. The aim of the event was to raise money and awareness for the local charity, who had just invested in a second air ambulance for the Devon area.

On the night the vouchers raised an impressive £160 for the local charity, money much needed. Aerosaurus would like to congratulate Devon Air Ambulance for the successful evening and thank Fran Carnell, who wrote a very nice thank you letter for us. If you fancy reading the letter they wrote to us then click here.

A Sunny Day at The University College of St Mark & St John

Posted in on October 14, 2008

Although Aerosaurus primarily offers champagne hot air balloon flights over the West Country, we diversified on Saturday however, tethering our new private/exclusive balloon at a open day at the University College of St Mark and St John.

The event started at 10am and potential students, with their parents/friends, entered the university being greeted by ourselves. We then proceeded to keep the balloon inflated for a further 4 hours, whilst keeping it bound to the ground.

Making Hot Air Ballooning Safe in the Westcountry

Posted in on July 29, 2008

As an on-going commitment to hot air ballooning, especially in the Westcountry, Aerosaurus invited Dave Seagar-Thomas to come down to its Exeter base on Saturday to help increase safety on privately owned balloons by renewing their C of A’s (Certificate of Airworthiness).

A C of A has to be carried out on a balloon every year or 100 hours it is in the sky. This check is very important and helps to ensure that hot air ballooning is kept as one of the safest air sports out there!

Testing our New Private/Exclusive Balloon

Posted in on July 16, 2008

Due to an increase in demand for private and exclusive flights, Aerosaurus has decided to upgrade its smallest balloon.

The balloon will be used to provide champagne hot air balloon flights in the Devon and Cornwall area at our standard flight meeting locations as well as Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire. Before it was scheduled for exclusive flights we wanted to thoroughly test it however and make modifications. Now with a new camera line attached to take In-Flight Photos with, it is ready.
