Eagle Soars Again! !
There have been many happenings at Eagle in the last few months. The company has new owners, has relocated and is re-entering the market with new innovative ideas, the same great envelope, fuel efficient, cool flying and a powerful personality.
Look for the new models that Eagle will be offering.
In 1966, 5 years after we began building balloons, we were the first in the industry to have its balloons type certified by the FAA. Our goal was to manufacture a balloon which the average public could afford and enjoy. For over 36 years we have been perfecting our promise to produce an outstanding balloon.
In July of 1979, the oldest balloon manufacturing company was purchased and became Eagle Balloons. At this time Eagle underwent a period of research, development, testing and modifications creating the well known commercial advertising balloon which to this day is still the flattest gore balloon available. (An advertiser's dream)
We will offer balloons through AX-10 very shortly.
We have sold to pleasure pilots and serviced prestigious national commercial clients such as Domino's Pizza, Union Pacific Railroad, Dole Pineapple and Apple Computers. We also created and owned the beautiful Montgolfier which was build in 19~3 in celebration of the 200th Anniversary of Manned Flight.
The variety of patterns we offer allow flexibility in design. Our ability to reproduce images onto the surface of the envelope offers an exciting option for our commercial customers and customer who prefer an out of the ordinary balloon. Our envelopes enable our customers to have a flat gore to display their advertisement, logo or whatever design they desire.
Eagle offers sport, commercial, special shapes and appendage balloons.
Eagle's reputation was built as the balloon with longevity and excellence for advertising due to the visual effect the gores allow. It is still the longest lasting balloon on the market.
