Mid-December didn’t really bring flyable weather… but the day after Christmas, the waiting finally paid off: Liftoff for our second Alpine Crossing this season, this time even with my parents on board. The weather couldn’t have been better… a wonderful four hour flight with fantastic views. Truly uplifting! ;-) [...]
Autumn and winter is typically the time when we do some nice long distance flying along the Alps. Unfortunately, we didn’t yet have the perfect weather pattern for a really long distance… but duration flights can be fun too! So, this Thursday, weather was just too fine to stay at home… Seeg to Bad Tölz [...]
We are looking for a little gas balloon basket to improve our equipment! Needs to be from Ballonbau Wörner GmbH for proper certification. Sleeping flap & size 4 mandatory, sports edition (lightweight) optional. Maybe you know somebody who knows somebody who…? ;-) Thank you Bob B. for allowing us to use your photos :-) [...]

Yesterday, our friends from GT Ballonfahrten visited us to pick up their new basket from Kubicek Balloons Deutschland and to do a proficiency check flight for their pilots with their all new Gasometer Pforzheim balloon. The scenery couldn’t have been better…! :-) [...]
