"I am Felix Hezel, 19 years old, from Dornstetten. I grew up at the airfield and have been flying myself at Winzeln-Schrammberg for 5 years. Two years ago, I flew at Bitterwasser for the first time. I was impressed to meet so many people from all over the world who all share my passion. I enjoyed it so much that I really wanted to come back. And that's where the job in the flight office comes in handy. I'm looking forward to many great flights from many great guests!"
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.
