Slither is a special shape hot air balloon and the inspiration of experienced pilot Jerry Davis.

About special shape balloons
Special shapes like Slither require advanced design and engineering to maintain flight safety and performance while embodying the creative concept. G-SNKE is built with high-quality materials and the expertise of one of the world’s leading balloon makers.
Despite its unique shape, G-SNKE, like all Ultramagic balloons, is designed for safe and reliable operation. Special shape balloons require careful handling, especially during inflation, flight, and landing due to their non-standard aerodynamics. Pilots of special shape balloons like G-SNKE are often highly experienced like Jerry Davis, ensuring that they can manage the balloon’s unique characteristics effectively.
