The Race Begins In Less Than 100 Days
The Coupe Aéronautique Gordon Bennett in Fribourg/Switzerland, the FAI World Long Distance Gas Balloon Championship, will take off from the airfield in Gruyères in under 100 days. This international competition brings together 22 teams from 13 different countries for a race which promises to be most exciting. After the balloons take to the skies, spectators will have the opportunity to discover air sports during the whole weekend, supported by the Swiss Aeroclub AéCS, thanks to a large-scale public festival proposing a wide range of free events.
