Teamwork!

It takes many hands to prepare the 2023/24 season and plan the flight operations.
This also brings some new faces to Bitterwasser.

In addition to Stefan and Domink Senger, who will still manage the flight office until mid-November and will then be replaced by Michael Stolze, Bernd Mangold and Pirmin Sensing are also real experts at the glider.
They are primarily the technical support in the workshop.
Both work at Schempp-Hirth Flugzeugbau and therefore know what they are talking about. Also thanks to them, flying from morning to night is possible. Pirmin stays until the end of the season to make sure that all flyers are well.
All four support each other energetically!

One or the other may have read my name already. My name is Hannah Schweckendiek and I am doing the media work and helping out at the reception this season.

The whole team is always open for any questions and suggestions!

Go back

We mourn the loss of Dieter Schwenk

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.

Season final

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.
