Finally, here it is: the ‘best of’ of our pictures from what can no doubt be called the most exciting Gordon Bennett Race to date! =) Right from the beginning, the Coupe Aéronautique Gordon Bennett 2024 turned out to be very special experience – an event that impresses not only with its long tradition, but [...]

Another nice Sunday with two flights alongside Bavaria Ballonfahrten and einfachabheben.de! Thank you Jenny for chasing =) [...]
