During his stay, Uys, together with Katrin Senne - world champion and sales manager at Jonker Sailplanes - will test the latest flagship from their production: the JS5 Rey, a glider that is intended to set new standards in the open class. In a presentation, Uys provides exciting insights into Jonker Sailplanes' current projects and talks about the challenges involved in the development, production and certification of modern gliders.
His passion for gliding is not only evident on stage: Uys is also available for discussions outside of the official program - even in the pool, he is not above discussing technical issues and clarifying questions.
We are pleased to welcome Uys and Katrin as guests here in Bitterwasser!
Largely unnoticed by the public, the 5th Red Bull Global Aerial Performance Camp 2026 took place in Bitterwasser, Namibia, from April 21, 2026, to April 30, 2026.
A few videos and pictures on this page offer a glimpse of the athletes and their performances.
At around 2 p.m. on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, the first truck carrying one of our seven containers set off. This marked the end of another impressive gliding season in Bitterwasser.
