Ballooning Record Book

On this page, we will attempt to document all known ballooning and airship records. If we've made an error or ommision, feel free to send us an update via the mailbox below. At the moment, I only have the AX distance records, but I will add the others as soon as I get a chance.

I know these aren't entirely accurate at this time. Feel free to correct me by sending updates via the mailbox below. Many thanks in advance.
