If you have a nice picture of the ‘Belgica 2’, the Flight crew or the Retrieve crew… taken on the launch field or during the flight… and you want to share it with us and the rest of the world you can send it to ludobuyle@gasballon.be



If we use it on the site we will send you a postcard from the Belgian team after the flight!



Thank you… AND KEEP SMILING!

Last weekend they filled the balloon with air and at the inside the search for little punctures began.

Obviously Ronny and Luc were not the only ones to use this method, as you can see on this picture of Kurt Frieden inside the Ed. Spelterini (source Blog SWI 1).



Well … the balloons are ready for the competition, and the pilots are very keen to leave.



We can hardly wait any longer … Let’s Fly !!!
