The happy faces as the pilots returned spoke for themselves. The start of our new season could hardly have got off to a better start. Despite a moderate weather forecast at the morning briefing, we were able to record four flights of over 1000 kilometers out of 19 take-offs. One long-standing guest proudly reported in the evening that this had been his best flight in Namibia in over 15 years.
With such a great start, we are looking forward to the coming weeks and are excited about the many more highlights coming up this season.
The Flying Lodge Bitterwasser team would like to thank everyone who made this first day such a great success. Stay tuned - the adventure is only just beginning!
A stay at the Bitterwasser Lodge is usually beyond the financial means of young pilots. At the same time, the next generation is the key to the future of our wonderful sport—and of the lodge as well. That is why supporting young pilots is a core part of the Bitterwasser Flying Center’s mission.
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.
