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:
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!

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.
