HOTEL and USA:
The rain has probably been good for nature, but the hotel ... The American
Lightweight design makes it possible, in any room you can now fill in the bucket to them under the dripping ceiling. About the food I need not to write, as expected, bold, sweet and far too much
TEAMS:
We try despite the delays and the resulting inaction prescribed something to have fun and so is meeting on the evening Ballönergemeinschaft the most in the hotel bar or in a room and there is talk shop. Beautiful songwriter with his colleagues.

Cessna Citation X Parts For Sale
first additional information is available online
Hello, colleagues from Belgium on their side first information www.gasballon.be to this year's Gordon Bennett race is releasing, they will also soon have a completely new sub-FS r publish this year's race.
is now already see a picture of the maiden voyage of the "Fin Pearl".
This is a top modern balloon, which is the German team Hora-extinguisher available.
Yesterday I noticed is that the transport of the balloons by plane to America is the only chance to say:
"Gas balloons fly"!
It looks like we get to ride in America, a Garmin GPSMAP 496, which will allow us with an additional antenna, live via Sattelit not only our position to determine, but also weather information (wind, precipitation, views, Blitzaktivitä , t) to load on our map screen.
I'm excited about this possibility, which will be available in Europe is not well-being.
Here is a beautiful picture that I got from www.gasballon.be:
