It’s been a bit quiet around here recently! Yep, weather is not that inviting at the moment, and you know what, we’ve got other hobbies apart from ballooning as well, called work! ;-) However, I’ve been doing some flying recently when my parents were there for a visit, so here we go. Nice morning flight [...]

The summer with all its journeys, events and adventures is over! Time to get some stuff done… and to enjoy flying at home. Friday was a wonderful opportunity to play around with the morning mist above our lovely region :-)   [...]

The weekend after, all pilots and teams gathered again at Bern for the Awards Ceremony of the 62nd Coupe Aéronautique Gordon Bennett. A wonderful evening on the Gurten, a hill south of Bern, with an amazing view all over the city. We were more than happy with our 10th place! The official results of the [...]

In the end, we decided to land in the evening. Decreasing our accomplished distance by flying through the night did not seem a good idea, and we didn’t want to risk a night landing either. Rising as high as we could to gain some speed and cover more distance was more like it. So, we [...]

Obvious as it was, our flight to the west coast of France would not bring us victory… but that was never our aim. Weather was nice and we loved our flight. With almost nonexistent mobile internet, we tried to correspond with our hq and the other teams on what to do next. We fancied the [...]

The rising sun had pulled us up to over 3000 meters AMSL, where we continued our flight into the West, alongside several other balloons. Our initial strategy – to fly slightly northwards for 24 hours and then catch the fast winds to Poland – hadn’t worked out. Nevertheless, we were gaining more and more distance [...]

After a dark night, finally – the dawning. On our long gasballoon flights, this is definitely the moment we enjoy the most: Sunrise. Because after every sunrise, there is breakfast! :-)   [...]
