A new year… new adventures! ;-)
On the first weekend of June, the Ballonsportgruppe Stuttgart e.V. hosted their annual Youth Camp at Seeg / Allgäu. We spent three wonderful days exploring the countryside, visiting a swimming pool, singing ’round the campfire and of course flying our balloons...
Fantastic flight at Eglofs this morning with the three new Kubicek balloons from Bauernkäserei Leupolz, Volksbank Allgäu-Oberschwaben and Gitzenweiler Hof. Thank you Ballonfreunde Allgäu e.V. for the invitation...
It was a wonderful weekend at Zwickau! =) The city had invited fifteen balloon teams and twelve model balloon teams to celebrate its 900th anniversary – and celebrate we did...
… was the definite highlight of our weekend at Chemnitz! :-) When the launch of the hot air balloons on Saturday evening was cancelled due to too gusty conditions, the 2014 gas balloon world champions Wilhelm Eimers and Matthias Zenge decided to inflate their netless gas balloon for an evening hop...
Lovely flight this morning in the skies above our beautiful village in a Kubicek BB20XR eXtreme Racer, together in the basket with former Kubicek wicker master Nelson from Colombia...
It was a most exciting Saturday at Stuttgart! Not only the weather situation was a bit of a gamble, but also the planned highlight of the day: Skydive world champion Klaus Renz jumping from one of our balloons and landing again on our launchsite just next to the Cannstatter Wasen...
We did a wonderful morning flight with our 840m² gas balloon from the Ballonsportgruppe Stuttgart e.V. last Sunday, taking off at 4 o’clock from our launch site at the Cannstatter Wasen and flying in a north-northwesterly direction...
Last Thursday, I went to the hairdresser’s in my new hometown. We got into talking about my hobby and the girl said that she’d probably never fly in a balloon, as she was too afraid about it. But some time ago, a balloon had almost landed in her garden...
Seven cylinders of propane, four VA70 and three VA50 with 344 liters altogether, served us as our fuel supply for our high altitude flight from Stuttgart to Bamberg last Saturday...
This morning, we had a wonderful flight from Füssen glider airfield to Rosshaupten...
The wonderful weather on Easter Monday has tempted the pilots at Bavaria Ballonfahrten to launch the Allgäu passenger season with two nice flights at the LEGOLAND Günzburg and Seeg...
On April 1st, it was time to officially introduce the new “Gitzenweiler Hof” balloon! :-) The weather didn’t quite cooperate, but luckily the famous campsite near Lake Constance has an appropriate venue for indoor inflations of balloons...
Our next flight was only two days away – but almost all snow had disappeared by now! It was a busy Saturday in the Allgäu skies with five balloons taking off near Lechbruck...
Life goes on! ;-) And instead of flying over endless landscapes of sand, we’re now enjoying the last days of winter in our beautiful Allgäu...
The weather surely could have been better yesterday afternoon at the Frankenballoncup near Nuremberg… but it was a nice flight and an enjoyable event nevertheless!
On February 15th, we managed an amazing flight over the Alps to Italy with two balloons! :-) Taking off at Bad Feilnbach near Rosenheim, we soon hit the speedy winds in FL170 and enjoyed a magnificent colourful morning sky...
This nicely organised balloon meeting is just worth a visit every year! :-)
Although the sun didn’t really want to shine, we had great fun launching two of our Ballonsportgruppe Stuttgart e.V. club balloons at the CMT Holiday Exhibition...
The first weekend in January, we visited the Allgäulino Montgolfiade at Wertach – and though the weather forecast had been not very promising, we enjoyed two nice flights over the beautiful Allgäu...
