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.
Thanks to his expertise, he knows every detail and every detail of how to get our gliders ready to fly quickly and safely. His calm and precise way of working ensures that everything works reliably - a requirement for safe and successful flying.
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.
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.
