Those aircraft owners who arrive later in the season will then load their aircraft in mid-September.
With dry weather and overcast skies, loading at the new site in Waghäusel was very easy, thanks to the excellent preparatory work of Lothar Wittig.
The containers are now going to Antwerpen and will be loaded onto the Green Mountain.
Early October is the ideal time to prepare the runways for flight operations. You can land at the Bitterwasser Flying Lodge in every which direction—depending on how you look at it, on 8 runways (plus one emergency runway), each in two directions. Jeremias carefully levels the landing area over the course of several weeks.
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.
