Big oh! Balloons is owned and operated by pilots Charles Page and Kristie Darling. We've been flying in North Carolina for 39 years. And we love it!

Charles is a commercial lighter-than-air pilot with over 1,000 flight hours logged. His personal best: high altitude flight to 24,000 ft AGL; overnight flight at midnight, 12/31/99, landing just before dawn on New Year's Day: 105 miles distance and six hours and 41 minutes duration. His love of flying has only increased over the years.
