We are pleased to welcome Thomas as new support in our workshop this season. With an impressive 34 years of experience at the renowned aircraft manufacturer Schempp-Hirth, he is a valuable addition to our team and a real benefit for our glider pilots.

In addition to setting up the gliders, Thomas is also a valued helper when smaller repairs are needed. Whether a point of weakness is discovered, or a component is not functioning properly, Thomas is always on hand to keep the gliders in top condition.
We are very happy to have someone like Thomas in our team and know that his expertise offers real added value to both the pilots and the entire workshop.
Although the season in Bitterwasser seems to be coming to an end in mid-January, the weather is at its best. Pilots from all over the world enjoy impressive thermals, breathtaking cross-country flights over 1000 km and a unique community.
The last season 2023/24 ended with a spectacular highlight for Dmitry Borovyk and Anton Minskii: on the very last day, they managed to fly around three declared turning points that cover an impressive distance of 1250 kilometers. This extraordinary achievement earned them the privilege of planting a palm tree in Bitterwasser - an honor only bestowed on the best pilots. One year later, the two are now returning to Bitterwasser to plant their palm tree in a festive ceremony in keeping with the old Bitterwasser tradition.
