Balloon Meeting at Neu-Ulm

Organizer Rudi Fuchs had invited us to the Balloon Meeting at Neu-Ulm, which takes place every year on April 30th in line with the fair of Neu-Ulm. Together with the model balloonists Andreas Schmiauke, Bastian Schwarz, Sven Grenzer and the 'Albflyers' from Heidenheim, we contributed to the balloon start that evening.


At six o'clock in the evening, the big balloons began to take off. 30 balloon teams, most of them from the southern part of Germany, had come to the event.


The Heidenheim 'Albflyers', who normally visit kite festivals with their colourful aircrafts, lauched their model balloon 'D-OMOT' that evening.

You can find more about the 'Albflyers' on www.albflyer.de.


Our penguin and cat had to stay on the ground that day, for quite a stupid reason: Werner and I had forgotten our remote control units at Pforzheim...

At the balloons' night glow, we participated nevertheless. And when we return next year, we'll bring along our RC units... promised ;-)
