On January 6th, we did our first flight of the year… and it turned out to be one of the most beautiful alpine crossings ever. Wonderful weather, friendly ATC controllers and really nice passengers just made it a pertect day! :-) Be sure to book your own on www.bavaria-ballon.de ;-) [...]
2016 has been unbelievable :) Almost 100 flights, over 170 hours in the air… simply amazing! :D My heartfelt thanks to all who flew with me, crewed for me, captured these wonderful moments in pictures or otherwise contributed to this great passion of ballooning.

Every year around the 1st of November, the organisers of the “Eglofser Feuerzauber” hold a nice little meeting for their ballooning friends, and after having two rather bad years (concerning the weather at least), in 2014 everything was just perfect! :-) We even had guitar music on board during one of our long flights, and [...]

In the last days of August, we spent a wonderful long weekend at the airfield Landshut-Ellermühle with our friends from Slovenia – luckily, we started our weekend on Wednesday already, as on the weekend itself, only one flight was possible. So, we could do four flights altogether and still had enough time to sing around [...]
