Where does Bill Whidden fly his hot air balloons in FL?

Bill Whidden - your pilot has a perfect safety record and has been ballooning for 30 years.

Lake County Florida near Orlando, FLLake County, Florida is the region we fly in. Our home port is in Mt. Dora, Tavares, near Leesburg, The Villages, Apopka, North Orlando, Sanford, Deland, and Daytona Beach. 

Lake County is unique to the Central Florida landscape. It is part of a ridge trailing through Central Florida with gentle rolling hills, large oak groves and abundant lakes (large and small.) It remains mostly agricultural but the small towns located there are reminiscent of the villages in New England. They are a Mecca for the antique hunters, flea market hounds and boutique shoppers; and the restaurants are second to none in quality and ambience.

"Capt. Bill Whidden is an experienced knowledgeable, personable pilot who gave us a 'ride of a lifetime'! The other woman who flew with me as my guest, has crewed on balloon flights for over 20 years and said Bill Whidden is among the 'all time best'! We flew for just over an hour on a sunlit morning with 3 to 4 mph winds, over lakes, & rural countryside with gorgeous panoramic views. After our flight we were treated to a champagne breakfast by the lake with Bill and Trish Whidden. I'd go again in a minute....but ONLY with Bill and Trish Whidden! I highly recommend this experience to one and all." Gerry Hall - Homosassa, Fl
