Yet, it was not until 1783 that the Montgolfier brothers in France first overcame gravity in their hot-air balloon. |

Adrien Alexander's Montgolfier Collection was inspired by aerial views of the African landscape, seen from a hot air balloon. |

The hot air balloon took its inaugural flight in 1783 with two innovative brothers, Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier, at the helm. |

Sona also holds a 100 percent interest in the Montgolfier Project in Quebec, 40 kilometres east of the multimillion-ounce Casa Berardi Mine gold deposit. |

In June of that year the Montgolfier brothers sent up at Annonay, France an unoccupied, so-called fire balloon believing that it was the smoke that caused the craft to rise. |
