To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the worlds first non-stop round-the-world hot-air balloon flight, Breitling is organizing another voyage that will encircle the globe with renowned aviator Brian Jones in a replica of the famous Breitling Orbiter 3. Punctuated this time around by a number of stopovers on all continents (including the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, South East Asia, Japan and the Caribbean), this adventure is intended to raise funds for the Winds of Hope Foundation, which contributes to several national programs to fight noma, a gangrenous disease, in various African countries.
