The last week we spent at the 4th FAI Junior World Hot Air Balloon Championship in Wloclawek, Poland, together with 48 other young balloon teams from all over the world! :-)
Weather was just perfect in the beginning, allowing some wonderful training flights… at the event itself, however, only half of the scheduled flights could be carried out. But the great friendship and high spirits among the young pilots and crews well made up for that, with a great goodbye party in the end and a nice awards ceremony. The new Junior World Champion is Jan Suchy (CZ), followed by Roy Gommer (NL) and Dom Bareford (GB) – congratulations! ;-)
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.
