Small modifications in this program are always possible. This gas balloon symposium is meant for the exchange of recommendations and experiences. For this reason we certainly invite the older generations of gas balloon pilots to come and share their rich experiences with us all.
I wish you all a good journey and a safe arrival in Künzel.
