The first two starts of the season

A great season opening!

"I still have goose bumps," says Reinhard Schramme. He said he had never seen such great weather at the beginning of the season.
On 25.10.23, Reinhard Schramme and Elmar Erik Fischer took off for the first flight of the Bitterwasser season around 12 noon. After initial blue thermals, clouds appeared after 1 hour in the north until shortly before Rehoboth. Promising thermals!
With an average of 200 km/h at times, the two of them managed a grandiose 973 km in the end.

But that was not enough!
The following day the team flew 898 km.
This is how the season should start!

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:
