Hollins area The first free flight of a hot air balloon was in 1792, when the Montgolfier brothers sent a duck, a rooster,and a sheep into the air. The next year, two Frenchmen using burning straw, piloted the Montgolfiers balloon five miles over Paris. The age of hot air ballooning had begun. Todays hot air balloons use ripstop nylon instead of silk and propane burners instead of straw, but they still evoke a sense mystery and romance as the silent giants float above us. Flying a balloon is like floating in a dream; since the balloon moves with the wind, there is no sensation of movement unless you look at the landscape. The average hot air balloon is as tall as a seven-story building and nearly 60 feet across at its widest point. Many hot air balloons exceed 100,000 cubic feet in volume. The world altitude record for a hot air balloon is 65,000 feet.
