BALLOONING is hot air balloon champion !

Twice French Champion 2008 and 2009 and Vice champion 2010 : Nicolas Schwartz, co-creator and pilot of BALLOONING company in Barcelona, confirms his accuracy and strategy in hot air balloon competitions by receiving 3 major titles during the last 3 years. Nicolas appears to be the best French pilot acording to FFA national ranking !

Within the " carré d´As " of the best pilots in the world 2010 : Nicolas Schwartz terminated in 4^th position this year, last October, during the World Championship that took place in Hungary. More than 120 pilots from diffrent countries competed during 10 days over Debrecen city and offered a beautiful air show.
