The little anecdotes of GEMAB
We can’t tell you everything, but you should know that each edition has its little anecdotes. The most tasty are undoubtedly those of the pilots who keep the car keys in their pocket, leaving the team member in the middle of the take-off field, without any possibility of chasing the balloon. The memory of the envelope of the Thai balloon that arrived by road, but with a particularly hasty driver who was arrested for speeding less than 10 km from the Chambley airfield. And much more sadly in 1991, the tents had been erected, the tarpaulins deployed. But weary, during lunchtime, an unforeseen tornado tore everything down, leaving the organizers stunned 8 days before the opening of the event.
