Bitterwasser team: our workshop

Introducing our team: Thomas, our experienced workshop employee, is passionately supporting the glider pilots in our workshop since this season. With 34 years of professional experience at Schempp-Hirth, he has extensive knowledge and is a valuable help in the assembly and for small repairs to our gliders.

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.
