30 October 2005

Start from Stuttgart ...

Even after the Gordon Bennett the pilots are not allowed to rest very long ... some of them are already trying to qualify for the next edition! Friday 28 October Tomas Hora took off on board of the `Stuttgarter Hofbräu' balloon. Tomas was active as launch master during the last Gordon Bennett Race in Albuquerque, now he's aiming for very good results in a duration flight. His intention: to be in the GB 2006 edition as a pilot.

After almost 45 hours the balloon is actually above Sweden. You can follow the link below to see the track:
