On the 30th of December, conditions were finally perfect for the first flight of the new Stuttgarter Hofbr\u00e4u gas balloon of the Ballonsportgruppe Stuttgart e.V.. Beautifully designed by members of the club, respecting the brand manual of the sponsor, the new balloon is also an homage to one of its predecessors, featuring the same red ring as the famous “Graf Zeppelin” gas balloon from the late 1960ies.<\/p>\n
The almost six hour maiden flight was accompanied by the Stuttgarter Hofbr\u00e4u hot air balloon, which allowed us to take many wonderful photographs of our new flagship.<\/p>\n
A nice way to end another wonderful year of ballooning! :-)<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
