And still, developing Christmas feelings at around 35 degrees in the shade is difficult. But there are completely different gifts on the gift table here. Where can you make yourself happy with a nice cross-country flight on Christmas Eve? Our “Merry Christmas!” Is therefore sent from a completely different background to all friends around the world.
In early September, the containers holding the gliders for the 2026/27 season were loaded in Waghäusel. Transported by trailer, truck, and cargo ship, the gliders are now on their long journey to Namibia, to the Bitterwasser Flying Lodge.
The Bitterwasser Flying Lodge was the main sponsor of the Junior World Gliding Championships, where from August 2 to 17, 2026, around 80 pilots from 22 nations competed for the titles in the Standard and Club classes. The grand prize for the JWGC winners was a one-week stay at the lodge, including travel and an airplane.
