The balance:
5x > 1000 km (1x FAI), 3x > 1100 km and 1x > 1200 km.
The speeds were accordingly high ( up to146 km/h)
The season has now really taken off. With almost 50 guests Bitterwasser is very well visited already at the beginning.
The participants of "Flying with the Youngsters" already got their money's worth on the second day and were all able to record flights over 1000 km.
Early October is the ideal time to prepare the runways for flight operations. You can land at the Bitterwasser Flying Lodge in every which direction—depending on how you look at it, on 8 runways (plus one emergency runway), each in two directions. Jeremias carefully levels the landing area over the course of several weeks.
In early September, the containers holding the gliders for the 2026/27 season were loaded in Waghäusel. Transported by trailer, truck, and cargo ship, the gliders are now on their long journey to Namibia, to the Bitterwasser Flying Lodge.
