The Coupe Aéronautique Gordon Bennett continues. 🎈🇩🇪
And yes, it is fair to say it:
We saved the race.
When the future of the Coupe Aéronautique Gordon Bennett became uncertain, the ballooning community refused to let the oldest aviation race in the world ...disappear.
Gladbeck stepped forward.
In 2026 the Coupe Aéronautique Gordon Bennett will launch from Germany and the tradition that started in 1906 will continue. This race has always been more than a competition. It is the ultimate challenge in gas ballooning and a shared heritage for pilots around the world.
We are proud to host the next chapter.
See you on the launch field.
Who will be there?
