… was great fun again! A wonderful weekend with old and new friends, a nice night glow, a beautiful morning flight, model ballooning, a sporty supporting programme AND spectacular parties! The Balloon Club of Landshut celebrated their 30th birthday with a big roasted pig and Bavarian music, and the balloonists celebrated on the camp site [...]
The balloon meeting at Bad Griesbach (near Passau) is one of our favourites every summer – and it was just beautiful once more! From Friday morning on, we could do three flights and two night glows, until the weather was merciful enough to let us sleep in on Sunday. What a great weekend! =) [...]

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.

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.
