We introduce ourselves.

As a captain of a large German airline with more than 20,000 flight hours on commercial aircrafts his passion of flying hot air balloons led him to hot-air airships. In 2004, he founded the company air graphic and he is always happy when time permits him to take over some airship flights himself.
