Women's power!

For several days now, the strong womens team in Bitterwasser has been competing with the male pilots.

The four ladies Andrea Abt, Margherita Acquaderni, Petra Zimmermann-Lauer and Ilka Elster-Back have covered a long distance of kilometers in recent days.

Especially on 5. 11 they were far ahead of the men.

At the front: Ilka Elster-Back with 834 km.

Petra, Andrea and Margherita flew over 700 km. And this with averages of up to 130 km/h. This means that Bitterwasser has strong female pilots and we expect many more!
