Bitterwasser season opener: What a great start!

On November 1, 2024, the time had finally come: the new gliding season in Namibia started with a big kick! Four flights over 1000 km in under seven hours. Lots of beaming faces and great joy for everyone involved - the season could have hardly got off to a better start!

The happy faces as the pilots returned spoke for themselves. The start of our new season could hardly have got off to a better start. Despite a moderate weather forecast at the morning briefing, we were able to record four flights of over 1000 kilometers out of 19 take-offs. One long-standing guest proudly reported in the evening that this had been his best flight in Namibia in over 15 years.

With such a great start, we are looking forward to the coming weeks and are excited about the many more highlights coming up this season.

The Flying Lodge Bitterwasser team would like to thank everyone who made this first day such a great success. Stay tuned - the adventure is only just beginning!

Mit Weihnachten verbindet man in Deutschland meist kalte Temperaturen, einen frühen Sonnenuntergang und im besten Fall noch Schnee. In Bitterwasser sieht die Welt ganz anders aus.
