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!

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

The gliding season in Bitterwasser turns up again

Although the season in Bitterwasser seems to be coming to an end in mid-January, the weather is at its best. Pilots from all over the world enjoy impressive thermals, breathtaking cross-country flights over 1000 km and a unique community.

1250 km palm tree for Dmitry Borovyk and Anton Minskii

The last season 2023/24 ended with a spectacular highlight for Dmitry Borovyk and Anton Minskii: on the very last day, they managed to fly around three declared turning points that cover an impressive distance of 1250 kilometers. This extraordinary achievement earned them the privilege of planting a palm tree in Bitterwasser - an honor only bestowed on the best pilots. One year later, the two are now returning to Bitterwasser to plant their palm tree in a festive ceremony in keeping with the old Bitterwasser tradition.
