RECORDS RECORDS RECORDS

On August 1st, 2013 by Matthias in 2013, News

The last 24 hours have just been amazing! On Wednesday afternoon, we had a stroll through the town centre of Metz, including a visit to the impressive cathedral. In the evening, we could finally resume flying, with the new world record of 408 balloons taking off within one hour from the air base of Chambley. We just returned for refueling when the 13 gas balloons took off for their competition – while about 20 hot air balloons were doing a great night glow!

On Thursday morning, it was time for the next record: The longest line of hot air balloons taking off one after another, with 391 balloons just about 50 more than at the previous record set in 2011!

A LIFE OF BALLOONING

The passion of a lifetime: To behold the stunning beauty of our world like no one else, free like a bird, high in the sky, yet one with nature, using the oldest principle of flight known to man: Lighter than air.

No wings, no noise, no pressure… just serenity, just perfect bliss. At one with the elements… at one with yourself.

This is why we live A LIFE OF BALLOONING.
