Padelt-Kugler

Padelt-Kugler Gas balloon team. John Kugler is especially known in the gas ballooning world as a pioneer in the experimental use of ammonia as a lifting gas.

John Kugler and Bert Padelt, USA: These two veteran competitors are flying together in the America’s Challenge for the second time, but both have competed individually in many previous America’s Challenge races (Kugler in 10, Padelt in 14). Both were also members of the flight support team for the late Steve Fossett’s around-the-world flights and worked with Fossett how to fly balloons. Bert Padel

t is one of the world’s premier balloon designers and builders, most recently developing and promoting American-built hydrogen gas balloons (two of these systems are flying in this year’s race). Since helium is (at least for now) no longer an option for gas balloon flights, hydrogen balloons are seen as the future of the sport in the U.S. We look forward to the America’s Challenge Balloon event!
