Competition on this year’s edition of the Airship World Championship is going to be sturdy. 12 nations and 21 flying crews from around the world are lining up for the world title. The best pilots will be in Dole-Tavaux and we can already mention the involvement of all final three of 2008’s edition in St Petersburg : Jacques-Antoine Besnard (Switzerland, triple world champion), Nikolay Galkin (Russia, vice-world champion) et Eckardt Koerner (Germany, bronze medalist). Grand Dole is about to experience the most disputed world championships ever organized.
