I saw them tonight ---I live up in Wake Forest and have seen them here as well as when I lived on the east side of Raleigh. I think they come out of Wendell or Zebulon. I've only ever seen them in the early evening.
Where I used to live we'd have them fly over the house in the evenings - awesome from the ground, but better in a balloon. Are there any regular balloon rides in the Raleigh area?
Glad I saw this post.
I'm a member of the Big Red Hot Air Balloon team, and we were the ones flying the American Red Cross banner on Sunday afternoon -- along with two other hot air balloon pilots and crew from Raleigh. I have lots of photos I can send individually. If you are interested in a hot air balloon ride, or if you would like to join our volunteer crew, send me a note at bigredcrewchief@nc.rr.com
We're out flying most weekends around the eastern Wake Co./Franklin Co. areas when the weather is pretty and our schedule permits it.
