The new Arcus M, the D-KQMA, of the Segelflugschule Oerlinghausen is part of the grid in Bitterwasser – currently supervised by school principal Carsten Kopsieker.
In the grid the gliders stand next to each other on the pan – it simply offers a lot of space. This means that no one else gets dusty during the take-off run, and the flights can begin with perfectly clean glider. Placed next to each other, you can also prepare calmly without being pushed from behind.
As a member of the Bitterwasser Board of Directors and CFI of the Soaring Society of Namibia, Dieter has rendered outstanding services to gliding in Namibia.
Sitting at his favorite spot in Bitterwasser, he has left us forever.
We will not forget him.
The season in Bitterwasser is slowly drawing to a close.
One by one, the gliders are being loaded into the containers. And still some teams fly over 1000 kilometers every day.
