My father and his younger brother Rien Jurg in Albquerque, New Mexico for the International Gorden Bennett Helium Balloon Race. This is moments before my uncle takes off in his FESTO Helium Balloon for next 5 plus days to hopefully win the competition with 20 plus other balloons from all over the world. I believe he and his co-pilot placed 2nd or 3rd in the 1999.
