We are nothing without a solid crew ...
When our passengers take their Orlando Balloon Ride, the first people they come into contact with at the field are our professional crewmen. Some are even pilots in training. During the OBA crew training program, safety and courtesy are stressed more then anything else. We take pride in the professionalism of our crew and believe that it is a difference that shows.
OBA is always on the lookout for local crew to assist in the setup, transportation and pack up of our balloons. We offer an exciting way to spend a morning. If your looking to become part of the OBA team while learning A LOT about the world of ballooning along the way, jump over to the contact page and express your interest.
