🚨Tomorrow! Inside the BFA Podcast - Episode 5 The Rise of Model Ballooning

📆 November 20 @ 6:30 CST
🎙️ Host Glen Moyer

In this episode, we dive into one of the fastest-growing corners of our sport: model ballooning. What began as a niche hobby has evolved into a vibrant community of builders, pilots, and innovators creating fully functional, scaled-down hot air balloons. These small balloons are engineered with the same principles and artistry found in full-size balloons, offering a hands-on way for newcomers and veterans alike to explore the mechanics, creativity, and joy of ballooning—right from their backyard.

We sit down with builders leading this movement, talk about what it takes to design and fly a model balloon safely, and explore how this trend is bringing new people into the sport. Whether you’re a seasoned pilot or brand-new to the world of ballooning, model ballooning opens the door to experimentation, education, and pure fun.
