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:
With the JS5, Jonker Sailplanes sets new standards in the open class. The development focused on a lightweight structure for optimum climbing in weak thermals and exceptional glide performance at high speeds with a wingspan of 24.2 meters.
We are excited to see what record flights will be possible with this glider in the future!

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.
