It’s a tough mission for Joe Daly! A professor of marketing and a hot-air balloon pilot for 10 years, he volunteered to organize the 44th Irish hot-air balloon championships. It’s the oldest gathering of airships in the world. A true challenge! Irish weather is not reputed for favoring aerial sports. However, the important thing for Joe is to commemorate the 1100th anniversary of Waterford, the oldest city in Ireland, founded by the Vikings. And to offer the citizens of the County an unforgettable spectacle. Because of their friendship for Joe, twenty-eight pilots, from all background, answered the call, without knowing if they would even be able to take off.
