July 26th – A day like no other

28 Jul 2021

We celebrated the 88th birthday of Bob Sisk, Past President of the Chambley American Veterans. A man who was there from 1954 to 1957 with Mike Collins. Also a legend in American military basketball at the time. Bertrand Piccard handed over important souvenirs from the Breitling Orbiter III and Solar Impulse. 21 years for the round-the-world balloon flight, five years for the round-the-world solar flight. This will join the priceless pieces in the Pilâtre de Rozier Aeromuseum. A great chef from the Caisse d’Epargne Grand Est Europe was introduced to virtual ballooning. This did not replace the flight he was to make on Tuesday evening, but it is a foretaste. Three gendarmes took place next to the pilots in original gondolas. The photo is already making the rounds on social networks. The morning flight was magical and the singing of the burners that replaced the evening flight cancelled due to the wind filled us with joy. As an organizer I went through BallonVille Pilote and I saw the joy, the happiness, the fraternity between you pilots and team members. We were right to believe in this edition. You have trusted us, we thank you.
