Welcome to the American Ballooning Community Balloon Club! (Formerly the Willamette Aerostat Society) We have members from across the country. We publish a newsletter each month that covers a variety of topics, including upcoming ballooning events, reports on recent events and other topics of interest to the ballooning community.

New? Lost? Confused? Don’t worry – we’ve all been there. One way to get in contact with a bunch of balloonatics in the area is by joining the West Coast Hot Air Balloon Enthusiasts Facebook group.

We also have a hot air balloon that club members can rent. Modeled after many airplane flying clubs, members in good standing are able to rent the balloon system on a daily basis. The rental rate is $150 per day. Become a member today and fill out a renter application to get started!
