A groundwork that starts more than a year in advance. Months and months to work so that the show is ready for the summer, a lot of ideas, exchanges, meetings, small anxieties and great joys &#8230; The Mondial is much more than an event, it is a story. Did you know that &#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Grand Est Mondial Air Ballons\u00ae mobilizes more than <strong>450 people<\/strong>, volunteers and subcontractors, from 11 nations who participate in orchestrating this huge organization, before, during and after the event. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It takes to the installation team <strong>1 month to build the event\u2019s site<\/strong>, which covers more than 200 hectares. And <strong>2 weeks<\/strong> to remove everything!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The runway on which the balloons pilots set up to try, every two years, to break the takeoff record is <strong>3 km long<\/strong>. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Mondial hosts more than<strong> 1300 pilots<\/strong> (including 10% female pilots) and <strong>1 000 balloons<\/strong>, from <strong>70 invited nations<\/strong>.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since 2011, the <strong>largest propane station in the world<\/strong> is located on Chambley aerodrome. It has 150 gas filling points and allows pilots during and off the event to fill their cylinders very quickly with gas, necessary to fly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2017, during 10 days, nearly <strong>5 000 balloons flights<\/strong> were made, meaning 11 flights out of 19. The control tower also recorded 1,552 movements of other aircrafts, not including the developments of paragliders.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During 10 days, <strong>400 000 spectators<\/strong> go to the site. An attractiveness that is explained by the beauty and exceptional nature of the show that is offered in the open sky.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Among the visitors, there are <strong>Belgian, Luxembourger, Germans tourists<\/strong> but also <strong>Americans<\/strong> <strong>ones<\/strong> with of course the veterans of Chambley. On the French side, of the 101 French departments, 66 are represented. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2017, more than <strong>3 000 people<\/strong> had the chance to experience a <strong>first flight<\/strong> in hot air balloon, airplane, glider, Ulm or helicopter.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Guinness World Records certified since 2013<\/strong>, the Mondial has since improved its own takeoff record twice. In 2017, 456 hot air balloons took off simultaneously in less than one hour. A new world record, which we hope to beat again in 2019! <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6687\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pilatre-de-rozier.com\/lmab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/DAY9-F.Braure-17.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6687\" class=\"wp-image-6687 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.pilatre-de-rozier.com\/lmab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/DAY9-F.Braure-17-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pilatre-de-rozier.com\/lmab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/DAY9-F.Braure-17-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pilatre-de-rozier.com\/lmab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/DAY9-F.Braure-17-555x370.jpg 555w, https:\/\/www.pilatre-de-rozier.com\/lmab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/DAY9-F.Braure-17-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pilatre-de-rozier.com\/lmab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/DAY9-F.Braure-17-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.pilatre-de-rozier.com\/lmab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/DAY9-F.Braure-17-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.pilatre-de-rozier.com\/lmab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/DAY9-F.Braure-17-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.pilatre-de-rozier.com\/lmab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/DAY9-F.Braure-17-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/www.pilatre-de-rozier.com\/lmab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/01\/DAY9-F.Braure-17-600x400.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6687\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9Florian BRAURE<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>15 past editions and the 16th is just around the corner, we are entering the 30th year of the Mondial, which is now a heritage event.
