68th Coupe Aéronautique Gordon Bennett – The FAI long-distance world championship for gas ballooning launched in Metz (FRA)
The Coupe Aéronautique Gordon Bennett – the FAI long-distance world championship for gas ballooning – is the oldest and most prestigious event in aviation and the ultimate challenge for the pilots. As the 68th edition got underway, 24 teams leaped into the skies above Metz, in France. This world championship of long-distance gas balloon flight brings together the best gas balloon pilots each year in a race with a simple but demanding goal: to cover the greatest possible distance from the launch area, without any intermediate landings. Pilots must navigate with precision, considering air currents, weather conditions and ballast optimization to fly as far as possible. The landings are expected by September 13.
