Our Story

In the winter of 1986 Laurie and Darrel went on their first hot air balloon ride with Jim Chubbuck in Middletown, CT. So enamored with the experience, they became balloonists themselves, flying with their new friends and chasing balloons across New England. The area is unique for its emphasis on “experimental” ballooning, where aircraft are designed and constructed by homebuilders instead of at a factory. These balloons are entirely unique and flown for fun rather than for business. Darrel constructed his first hot air balloon “Spirit” in 1994 as a winter project and shared his creation with family and friends. The two also constructed a 4 person chase crew, with each of the children growing up around hot air balloons.

Spirit Ballooning emerged in 2009 as a way to share our family’s balloon experience with as many people as possible. Guests fly over our scenic hometown nestled between the Litchfield Hills of CT and The Berkshires of MA. Our family wants guests to have an experience that is inclusive, inspiring, and relaxing.
