What we will cover in the next hour is not me trying to lecture you about the aviation insurance business. Balloons have the Right of Way What we will cover is an introduction to ballooning. Then, we will look at ballooning as a business, their needs, and aspirations, and some fun facts that all of us as pilots know about airplanes, but have probably never thought about when it comes to these beautiful and colorful giants. 1
