Our latest adventure led us to Sweden – with two gas balloons! =) Months ago already, we had reserved the last weekend of October for a Gordon Bennett qualification flight – and as the weekend approached, the weather models showed that a flight to the north would be possible. We informed Austrian fellow pilot Wuzi [...]
Another incredibly beautiful week of ballooning is over. Again ten flights in and around Kirchberg / Tyrol… how lucky can you be? :-) It is indeed difficult to name a highlight of this week, but our sunrise flight to Waidring and the two flights to Zell am See and Saalfelden surely do stand out! The [...]
It had been a long wait, after the 2020 edition of the Coupe Aéronautique Gordon Bennett had been postponed to 2021. Due to the possibility of another postponement or even a cancellation, motivations were not too high to pull off a big one, so we kept our preparations and publicity to the absolute minimum. Which [...]
After having crewed at the Horber Neckar-Balloncup several times, it has always been a dream to experience this wunderful little event as a pilot… and in 2021, it finally came true! =) And we couldn’t have chosen a better year for this. 6 out of 6 flights was a first even for Horb… and oh, [...]

Seven beautiful flights, five in the Todi and two in the Bastardo area, hot summer [...]
For the fifth time, and ten years after our first visit (oh how time flies!), we returned to Chambley, home of the Grand Est Mondial Air Balloons or #GEMAB, in July 2021. Long time did we not believe this huge event would take place, but as it seems, Covid only affects politicians and media, not [...]
In the second week of July, we went to Italy for Siebel Ballooning to fly their new Pokémon GO balloon for Niantic, The Pokémon Company. Four destinations were planned out: Perguia (Umbria), Florence (Tuscany), Bologna (Emilia-Romagna) and Bassano del Grappa (Veneto). Spending two nights at every stop, we managed to do eight flights altogether, with [...]
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.
