Ron,
We just wanted to thank you and Zach for a great morning adventure hot air ballooning with you. The whole experience was brilliant, and as someone who does not do well with heights, I can truly say there was never a moment where that was an issue for me. It was so cool to be up high, floating along in the quiet gorgeous morning light, viewing the patchwork landscape below. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the trip from the setting up of the basket and balloon, through the flight, landing again and finishing off with the champagne toast. You and Zach did a great job of including us in the whole process and we appreciated the participation rather than just being an observer. We would most definitely recommend this experience to everyone and hope we get the opportunity to do it again.

I would highly recommend Air Time Ballooning to anyone interested in going up in a hot air balloon. Pilot Ron was awesome and made the experience more enjoyable than I ever expected. He was always on time whether it was a call the night before giving us a weather update or meeting the day of. He was very informative before and during flight. Ron told us what to expect and things to look for. Conditions were a little windy which made our landing a bit exciting but he handled it very well and showed to us he has lots of experience and definitely knew what he was doing. Although this was my first flight, when I go on my next without a doubt will call Ron. He was awesome!

Ron/ Zach,
Yesterday’s balloon ride experience was incredible and engraved a long lasting memory with me and my Mom. This special ride was one of my Mom’s dreams (included in her bucket list) and your friendly disposition and focus on the details/ friendly attitude delivered something we will never forget.
Looking through the landscape from a different perspective and blending in the peaceful serenity of the sky provided a sense of renewal to the two of us. You were able to create this feeling by ensuring the weather conditions were ideal for the ride which made us certain we felt secure.
The final touch of the Balloonist’s prayer and the Champagne toast shared with the home owner where we landed unexpectedly, made me feel as if we were in the early dates of flying exploration.
I hope to experience this feeling one more time with you soon, but now in the company of my wife and kids.
I highly recommend your company for future adventurers!

Ron,
My husband Joe and I wanted to thank you for a wonderful sunrise ride last Friday. We highly recommended the ballooning experience and your hospitality to our family and friends. From helping to inflate the balloon, watching the sunrise reflect off the landscape, the excitement of landing and to your toast, we truly enjoyed ourselves!

Tiffaney and I went out early Sunday for a hot air balloon ride to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We have always wanted to do this but have never gotten around to it. Big thanks to pilot Ron Grant and his son Zach, who made it a memorable experience taking us from near Springboro all the way to Waynesville, OH. Ron, you are right - morning balloon rides are worth getting up early for.
