22nd Model Balloon Meeting at Brigachtal |
With over 60 participants, the Model Balloon Meeting at Brigachtal 2007 followed the success
of the years before. The weather was also nice.
On Friday evening, organiser Richard Bölling welcomed the teams who had come from all over Europe in the festival hall at Überauchen. |
One, two, three: Matthias Schlegel, Bastian Schwarz and Sophie Knechtel had taken the first
numbers this year.
This way, Matthias fulfilled his last Brigachtal dream: After winning first place in 2004 and
getting the wonderful challenge trophy for another fifth place in 2006, there was only one thing
left: To launch as number one!
|
Fog bound on Saturday morning: The first task to fly was a target line and a fox chase.
Cunningly, the fox headed for the village - but Werner Schlegel with the D-OWMS
"Urmele" balloon followed him immediately.
|
The pilots had to perform a thrilling sprint across the village to follow their balloons -
the competition almost became a minor matter. Matthias was also very glad to recover his
Penguin which had landed in the kitchen garden of the "Hirschen" hotel.
|
Mouse meets Elephant: The siblings from the "TV Show with the Mouse " were together
in the air for the first time. Bernd Schwab and Martin Eutermoser were the pilots of the funny
shapes.
|
At the flight on Saturday afternoon, the special shapes showed up again. This time, Bastian
Schwarz also put up his "Special Sheep".
|
Werner Schlegel with the Cat headed for the target.
|
There was a great interest in Matthias' Solar Balloon, so we tried to put it up after the
competition flight on Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, the wind was yet too strong, and
the start had to be aborted.
|
On Saturday evening, as every year, the night glow took place at the children's hospital
at Tannheim. Karsten Knechtel's Heart and Frank Schnelle's Fire Bunny enjoyed great sympathy
among the children.
|
On Sunday morning, we changed balloons: Matthias was allowed to fly Martin Kaiser's fox and to
lead the fox chase.
|
With a delay of three minutes on the fox, the other balloons took to the morning sky.
|
Hovering closely above ground, the fox tried to escape the other balloons...
|
...but they stayed closely on track.
|
Thus, many of the pilots landed closely to the fox and gained good points.
|
The winners of the 22nd Model Balloon Meeting at Brigachtal were very international (from right
to left): Ben Schaack (Luxemburg), Roger Wilhelm (Germany), Bernard Barillon (France), Sidney
Servin (Belgium) and Jan Beckmann (Germany).
