The 2025/26 Bitterwasser season is coming to an end
At around 2 p.m. on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, the first truck carrying one of our seven containers set off. This marked the end of another impressive gliding season in Bitterwasser.
A well-rehearsed team!
The line boys prepare the gliders so that everyone can take off on time. Oxygen, avgas and help with take-off. They have an overview of every single glider in Bitterwasser.
Jeremias Kauena has been leading the team of 9 boys for many years.
The season starts early for everyone. The containers are cleared out and all the gliders are rigged. You can see that this is a well-coordinated team with years of experience.
Even when taking off with many gliders next to each other, the line boys know the exact procedure to ensure smooth flight operations.
When many planes land at the same time towards sunset, the line boys are immediately on hand to make room for landing on the large pan.
The line boys are also available as private helpers. These all-round talents have a lot of fun and enjoy what they do!
