Chateau d’Oex Balloon Festival 2017

Airborne Adventures 080

This year I returned to Chateau d’Oex for the first time since Invista sponsored the event several years ago and we were the lead balloon. I have to say that it was a lot more relaxed and enjoyable, although not as rewarding financially.
The weather this year was outstanding with flights taking place all day every day. The two flights that I was able to enjoy took us up and down the valley towards Gruyere, copying the first flight that I took Georgina and Libby on several years ago. Lovely.
Thanks to Mark and Lois for inviting us to join them on team Rotork, and thanks also to the rest of the team for making us welcome.
