Happy Birthday

This time in Bitterwasser, Rainer Hog did not get out of this congratulatory cure. As director of the gliding center, he is always on site throughout the season, except for the days around his birthday. Only this time did he flee from the well-wishers too late and was allowed to receive laudation and birthday serenades at the morning briefing.

It is Rainer's job and credit that things are going well in the lodge and flight operations in Bitterwasser. He is supported on the board of directors by Ralph Bürklin, Ilka Back and Jürgen Dörrie.
And if there is a problem somewhere, Rainer is the contact. At the small birthday party, Manfred Dick immediately addressed Rainer Hog's thanks for the youth sponsorship by the Bitterwasser shareholders and the wish to continue this in the future. The winner of the Bitterwasser Cup, Eric Schneider, had set up a birthday serenade with the juniors of the 1000 k training camp and the Flying with the Youngsters campaign.
