The small season is over

The airplanes have been picked up, the container is in the harbor. Our ship, the Red Cedar, is just rounding the Cape. 65,000km, 93 flights, flown by 17 pilots, 14 flights greater than 1000km, one even over 1300km.

A palm tree with a diploma. A rainy season in January like the last time 25 years ago. This is the result of the small Bitterwasser season 2020/2021, but no one regretted to have been there. In a flying season that will hopefully remain unique. Only the Joschko's are left. The rest flew back home on Sunday, safe and sound. Optimistically we look ahead. The bookings for the next season are already in full swing. Running!

 

I am off then!

Everything green...

Beautiful clouds

Better to be landed.

Best friends

Not too many nations, but we had a lot of fun.

The first guests can arrive!

A stay at the Bitterwasser Lodge is usually beyond the financial means of young pilots. At the same time, the next generation is the key to the future of our wonderful sport—and of the lodge as well. That is why supporting young pilots is a core part of the Bitterwasser Flying Center’s mission.

Leveling the Landing Area

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.
