    I'd be surprised if there was. The entire area is essentially restricted and heavily controlled airspace because of the bases, and I'm not sure how you can risk the chance of coming down in a munitions test area that's still live.

    Here's a few to get you started, most within a 6 hour drive...

    Not that I've ever taken an interest....

    Tampa-

    Alabama:

    http://www.gulfviewballooning.com/

    http://www.alabamaballooning.com/

    http://www.1800skyride.com/HotAirBal...a/contact.html

    Georgia:

    www.georgiaballooning.com

    www.balloonatlanta.com

    Now, if you want to go to the other extreme, there's all kinds of SkyDiving around here....
    Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk.
    That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

    Thanks for sharing this, I was not aware NC had one. I have always wanted to go to the one in NM, but this is much closer.
