School Educational Program Air Alabama is proud to offer a school educational program that uses hot
air balloons as an exciting new method for learning about a variety of
subjects. We start by coordinating with your school to study ballooning as it
relates to Math, History, Science, Physics, Weather, etc. This can be done
over a week or so. Our pilot would then come out, make a presentation, answer
questions, show the balloon and possibly even do an inflation and launch.
Contact us at (205) 567-9800 for more information or to schedule your school. |

air ballooning. We offer an interesting and informative presentation on hot

school, church, civic organization or just a group of friends, we will be
glad to come out and introduce you to our sport. Contact us at (205) 567-9800
