Covid-19 Virus Update.
An inherent risk of exposure to the Covid-19 Virus appears to have lessened but
not totally gone away. It still exists in any public place where people are
present. The Covid-19 Virus is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to
sever illness and even death. According to the United States Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, Senior Citizens and Guests with underlying medical
conditions are especially vulnerable. We’re not requiring face coverings of crew

By booking a ride with Buzzards Glory Balloon Company, LLC you voluntarily
assume all risks related to exposure to The Covid-19 Virus.

A ride in a hot air balloon is unlike any other experience. Floating through the
sky, seeing the land spread out below, and seeing the area from a unique
perspective. (More Info and pricing)

CHRIS HEIDELBAUER CHECK RIDE

The final step in a person’s quest for a hot air balloon pilots license is to do
a “Check Ride” with a FAA Certified Flight Examiner. Summer got away from use
and with the Iowa examiner tied up with harvest, we drove to Louisville Kentucky
to have our friend and examiner Matt Torgerson do the …

GLOW BY THE RIVER

Long delayed, but still fun, The Glow. What a great time hanging out in the
evening with hundreds of friends. Glowing a Hot Air Balloon while pretty on the
eyes its hard on the balloon. Balloons like to fly and its not in their
temperament to just sit on the ground. However, if the evening …

ABOUT BUZZARDS GLORY

Peter O. Stamats took his first ride in a hot air balloon in 1974 and he was
hooked.  He bought a balloon, took lessons and then got his license, all in that
order.  He started Buzzards Glory Balloon Company, LLC in the fall of 1974. 
Peter was the only balloonist in Cedar Rapids for quite some time.  The people
of Cedar Rapids were surprised and thrilled to see a hot air balloon floating
over their city and surrounding area.  Peter sold rides, donated rides to
charities, trained pilots and was a representative for Cameron Balloons for many
years and more recently for Lindstrand Balloons US.  He also taught a continuing
education course at Kirkwood Community College called “The Art and Science of
Hot Air Ballooning”.   His philosophy was:  ballooning is more an “art” than a
“science.”  Ten years later, Peter taught his wife, Susan, to fly and their
balloons were seen floating together over Cedar Rapids on most perfect days. 
They continued until late in 2003 when Peter passed away leaving Susan to carry
on their passion.

A balloon ride is a magical experience to be enjoyed by all.  Rides make
wonderful memories for:  engagements, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays,
graduations, retirements or just for fun. Companies use rides as sales
incentives, drawings at picnics or for other company events. With over 40 years
of experience we’ve flown for just about every occasion imaginable.  We have a
lot of satisfied customers and many repeat customers.
