An aeronaut flies a hot air balloon
A hot air balloon pilot is called an aeronaut.
Richard Fratigillo
Hot air balloons have a gas heater that is generally powered by propane. When the pilot turns the heater on, the balloon will fly high due to the hydrocarbon chamber that allows the pilot control of ascent and descent of the hot air balloon.
The hot air inside the balloon expands, making the hot air balloon fly.
Hot Air Balloon Pilot
In the United States, a pilot of a hot air balloon must have a pilot certificate from the FAA and it must carry the rating of "Lighter-than-air free balloon", and unless the pilot is also qualified to fly gas balloons, will also carry this limitation: "Limited to hot air balloons with airborne heater". A pilot does not need a license to fly an ultralight aircraft, but training is highly advised, and some hot air balloons meet the criteria. To carry paying passengers for hire (and attend some balloon festivals), a pilot must have a commercial pilot certificate. Commercial hot air balloon pilots may also act as hot air balloon flight instructors. While most balloon pilots fly for the pure joy of floating through the air, many are able to make a living as a professional balloon pilot. Some professional pilots fly commercial passenger sightseeing flights, while others fly corporate advertising balloons.
A pilot usually has 2-4 passengers.

i think it takes a long time for a hot air balloon to fly
Hot air balloons can pick up and fly from just about anywhere. As long as the surface is flat a hot air balloon can fly from it.
Yes they were first to fly the first hot air balloon
A hot air balloon flies because it is filled with hot air. Hot air rises and causes the balloon to lift from the ground.
