“Det strålende smil og det oprigtige knus efter den første ballonflyvning er det hele værd. Det er dér, det hele begynder – og jeg er så stolt af at kunne give den oplevelse videre.”

Med over 1.000 timer i luften er Philip en af de mest erfarne professionelle ballonskippere i Danmark. Han har fløjet ballon over store dele af verden – fra udslukte vulkaner i Kenya og isørkenen på Svalbard til de åbne sletter i Rusland og over sneklædte tinder i Alperne. Philip stiftede DreamBalloon i 2011 og er i dag ansvarshavende flyvechef og direktør i virksomheden. Han har desuden den danske rekord for længste ballonflyvning (7 timer og 25 minutter) og har fløjet op til 28.000 fod. Som tidligere konkurrencepilot har han vundet DM i 2008, 2009 og 2011 og har blandt andet deltaget i VM i USA i 2012 og i Japan i 2016.

“Watching the landscape turn into a miniature while slowly ascending in the oldest flying machinery of mankind is a privilege and a passion I love to live.”

Christian began flying passengers in Stockholm in 1985 which makes him one of the very first licensed commercial balloon pilots in Sweden. He also manifested the adventurous side of ballooning reaching 32.500 feet in an ordinary hot-air balloon, setting the still valid Swedish altitude record in 1986. After more than 40 years and 1200 hours airborne in many different countries, he still is eager to share the thrill and the spectacular view of a balloon ride with fellow passengers aboard.
