August 12, 2022,Bad Königshofen-Alsleben-Saalequelle-#Im Ballon über die Grenze (12.08.22F)

On my evening lap I got into the Thuringian Montgolfiade. At first I thought this was a memorial meeting for the 1979 balloon flight de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballonaway, but after information from the balloonists from Freiburg (BW) I was taught otherwise. A fantastic coincidence with a wonderful evening mood!
