East Texas Balloon Club

East Texas Balloon Club is dedicated to sharing the sport of hot air ballooning in Longview and greater East Texas. If you're interested in learning more about ballooning, or you'd like to join a balloon team, please feel free to reach out to us here!

While Longview is known for the Great Texas Balloon Race, ballooning is a year-round hobby for many of the pilots and flight teams who live here! Over 10 resident pilots and dozens of team members make the ballooning community in Longview one of the largest in the nation.

Ballooning is a sport to be shared, and ETBC is excited to share it with you! Whether you're looking for a new weekend hobby, a fun and diverse social group, or an opportunity to become a pilot, there's a place for you in the East Texas Balloon Club.
