Migratory bird from the Teutoburger Wald in Bitterwasser

Where can you not find the gliders of the Segelflugschule Oerlinghausen, resident at the Teutoburger Wald? After Caiolo in Italy and La Motte in the French Alps, now also in southern Africa.

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.

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:

Loading of gliders in 2025

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.
