What a start to the season!
The early birds did it. Elmar Fischer and Reinhard Schramme struck in the first few days. Here is Elmar's report:
The two of them ensure that everything runs smoothly on the ground by coordinating all takeoffs. Runway, takeoff direction, takeoff time - everything is neatly documented and executed.
Avgas and oxygen are always ready here for the extra long flight experience!
Before taking to the air, the team passes on its knowledge to the pilots at the morning briefing. Weather, thermals and winds - the airspace over Namibia is checked.
And even after all the takeoffs, they organize harmonious and regulated flight operations from the ground. The weather parameters and the glider tracker are always in view, the radio always in hand.
So the two of them are an absolute all-round team!
The early birds did it. Elmar Fischer and Reinhard Schramme struck in the first few days. Here is Elmar's report:
On the weekends of September 6/7, 2025, and September 13/14, 2025, 30 gliders were loaded into seven containers to begin the long journey to Bitterwasser, Namibia.
All gliders are very well booked. There are still a few slots available at the beginning of November. If you are interested, please contact hog@bitterwasser.com.
