egypt's military leaders crack down on the western activists to help them to power it last year. and now prepare to take the clouds in their tea explores the wonderful world of air ballooning. people couldn't fly for a long time i don't think because they didn't think it was possible we can learn how to do that without machines anyway if we want to. destroy your arm while people here are a man ticks but they have generous souls like sunni's is something out of this world and in chanting experience disease of the skies would brings these people together so they come here from all over russia and the world are. always people stick together because of both the love of ballooning and that none of them will be able to do it singlehanded each person is

a zone of responsibility those on the ground are responsible for the ones in the sky together they are a close knit team. it all started in the late eighteenth century a balloon with two passengers in the basket was launched from a paris suburb one pm and fifty four minutes on november the twenty first seventeen eighty three was piloted by collateral deaths unlucky day long after flying across the french capital they landed safely in another suburb twenty minutes later the king of france for stowed them the title of count being the first humans to fly in the air and granted them the right to hand it down to successive generations of balloonists. since then anyone going up in a balloon for the first time has to pass an initiation ritual to be awarded the title of count by the pilots.

that is to get to the ski which elements do you know. he isn't really earth water fire. what else in the. in. the air. we've gone through all of them to take off from earth and flew in the air. and on the ground and in the air and of course taken off without flying. fire is the main driving force of any hot air balloons the first timers have their hair ends burnt as a sign of respect for fire champagne then comes into play as a symbol of water that is used to extinguish the flaming has finally the initiated have their head sprinkled with earth as a good luck charm for future flights. the

first balloon launch in russia came exactly twenty years after the french debut in eighteen zero three a balloonist from paris flew a russian balloon passenger over moscow according to one theory emperor alexander the first but ordered the launch he wanted to know what such aircraft putting those designed for warfare were capable of doing in the mid twentieth century ballooning was no longer popular in russia almost no military balloons have been in use after world war two get ballooning today remains a recreational activity for hundreds of thousands of people around the world. p.r.c. gorski russia's oldest spa resort today it is popular among both russian and foreign balloonists you find both mountains and lowlands the city is just over one thousand

five hundred kilometers south of moscow mt elbrus europe's highest point is only seventy kilometers away the mountain stands nearly five thousand five hundred meters above sea level. the first ballooning competitions in the caucasus were held here russia's southernmost region that was in the mid one nine hundred ninety s. a pilot had to be a professional to stay. balloon and keep it at the right altitude you can never tell how the air currents are going to behave. in pilots turned up for the inaugural event thirteen years ago nowadays it is an international festival that attracts both russian and foreign balloonists the aim is to restore the to former glory. vitale. is a former air force pilot and the first balloonist in the caucasus the crew holds

him in high respect he was the first russian take the risk of launching a balloon in the antarctic. were made a sectional bosco's and a balloon that featured the colors of the russian flag for most k. we went to paris. from there on to santiago. finally we reached our destination and preparedness in chile was a well southernmost city with. the usual pollution as the cell phones hosts a number of stations belonging to the united states but very many people in high places outside our country from the presence of russian blueness they're extremely objectionable and we paid up before we arrived in chile most of us were able to fly to king george oil and only after two failed attempts. to get in the end with winds of eighty meters a second we did manage to launch

a balloon but not before everything that could be broken was broken. and all i do know about. as far as i know only four men in the world including myself have ever launched balloons in the antarctic. vitaly was trained by alexandre talan of one of the first balloonists in the former soviet union he has been chief referee at every blue moon competition in russia found he. under the country's first balloon on a factoring company russia has a total of forty professional balloonists that make frequent flights. about yours yet each exercise is performed within a radius of two hundred fifty meters other balloons start trailing behind the hair a minute later. before each launch the referee tells contestants what they're

supposed to do just like with passenger aircraft balloons a check for any technical folks prussia taking off alexander's wife vera shares his passion for flying she was six years old when she first saw a balloon since then her cherished dream as being to pilot one. address the scene come on everyone can bridge is the pay isn't going to get it with no matter how old you are there and how welcome to come here with children very many men bring their wives along their money but they don't come here is simply to look around and go for right now they help a lot. now there are a lot of a monitor's the ballooning competitions she recalls them a new visit wind speeds and alternative flight paths and schools them accordingly. the admission the first balloon to go up for stub or pole it is a heads as soon as it touches down the pilot will allow to cross on the ground the

job of other pilots is to hit the mark as precisely as possible. the first building to go up is called the heading balloonist lingo it is piloted by the judge then the other contestants need to mimic kids' maneuvers by approaching it all moving away. only few pilots can cope with such difficult competition the professionalism of the talan also has earned the couple the title of aero good. of russia but aloneness founded russia's first company money fracturing balloons aleksandr to launch off made his first balloon in the late one nine hundred eighty s. it's lining born inscription saying the first soviet made mungo feel. ballooning has gained enormous popularity in russia in the past two years this can

be seen from the growing number of orders for balloons placed with our company. and so i don't think the shape of balloons or even the with their baskets is going to change the balloons of the future will offer a more comfort to in-flight pilots or that. things like better navigation smoother knobs and delicate thin cords instead of course ropes tools void getting entangled . knots that sensors will give way to radio signals reporting temperatures inside the envelope with dust and all that will be mainly intended for the spectators at the balloons are most likely to look like the ones built by the brothers montgolfier for a long time to come. in the breasts of all i had was a basket and a burner. one tank costs full two minutes after that it should be changed i mean you believe

it should be two tanks at all times one of them an active duty thing and the other as a backup. to just wind up with this right here is where the baskets are born these tubs are filled with water and about the liquid is used to soak willow. the canes are here. but we are using rattan pam to make of this particular basket today on the gumball dream us a call fused to give school children physical education classes he was a teacher by calling and dre even held a scientific degree for fun one day he decided to weave a small with

a basket today he's head of a company which makes much larger baskets. in the old days we used to make balloon baskets in russia today the firm stalks of the tropical rattan poly used it's more popular because it's more practical it's imported from europe and southeast asia. the soaking process takes three or four hours the material is not put to any particular test to see whether it is ready for processing but then i don't need any i just bend it to see whether breaks or not if. it's as simple as that doesn't if you've just ok your let's get down to work with your work is a handy craft with a long history it was all the rage a nineteenth century russia well it was used to make all sorts of things from furniture prams and suitcases to hunt bags and toys the traditional craft somewhat faded in the twentieth century but it is being revived today although this is

a slow process only a few workshops can handle major deals involving wickerwork. family but a human nowadays basket wickerwork barely differs from its french origins yet the same technique has been used for hundreds of years i have seen how they do it in the czech republic and in germany which their methods are very much alike. and gracious is teams motto there is no place for an important things in aviation bus gets a made in strict conformity with blueprints the job takes three days on average every small detail is important from the ropes to the framework few women and found in this trade men's hands a stronger. lashley our products retain the warmth of our hands. the. i'm sure that if you are in a good mood while waving

a basket the result is a good product. the close up team has been to the whole bar of screen. where the country's little wealth starts its way across the ocean. now archie goes to the area. once named dr len in good looking to a different character to represent itself. for local businesses are striving to build the aviation capital of russia. that's where the four by fours are made and can be tested to the limit. welcome to the union of creatures. russia close up.
