Again a very nice launch from here. Not many more new ones, but we were not to know that. Seems wise whenever hot air balloons are involved, to have at least two launches planned in if you can.

Wasn’t sure anything would be seen here, but most of the below can easily be seen through larger windows at the front of the big hangar. The An-2 was in a seperate hangar on its own and could be seen through gaps with a bit of effort. Very happy to have made the Harvard, Trojan and Beaver! The Hunters that are supposed to be here, I think are hidden away in a spotter proof HAS built into the side of the mountain, a legacy from the former Swiss Air Force days here.

No problem looking around here. No aircraft owners around but the airfield is completely open to access and there were lots of dog walkers, joggers, walkers etc around.
