What a start to the season!
The early birds did it. Elmar Fischer and Reinhard Schramme struck in the first few days. Here is Elmar's report:
"Hello everyone, I'm Florian, a flight student at my home club in Detmold. When I finished high school this summer, I wanted to explore Namibia and not leave gliding at home. Where, if not in Bitterwasser? In the meantime, I have been on site for four weeks. Well integrated in the flight office, I am mainly concerned with the pilot and aircraft documents, the writing of start lists and the setup of the GPS-SPOTS. I like to help with the take-offs in the morning and with putting the airplanes away in the evening. This together and the beautiful environment here, make life and flying special for me. Gliding in Namibia inspires me every day anew. It is nice that I can be part of it. Until the End of January I will be working in Bitterwasser. I am looking forward to meeting you all.
See you soon in Bitterwasser".

On the weekends of September 6/7, 2025, and September 13/14, 2025, 30 gliders were loaded into seven containers to begin the long journey to Bitterwasser, Namibia.
All gliders are very well booked. There are still a few slots available at the beginning of November. If you are interested, please contact hog@bitterwasser.com.
