Gerhard Marzinzik ist von uns gegangen
Die Bitterwasser PTY mit allen Freunden weltweit trauert um Gerhard Marzinzik und seinen jungen Copiloten, die am 12. April 2022 bei einem Flugunfall in den Alpen im Pustertal ums Leben kamen.
"We planned our vacation here a year in advance," said Christopher as an explanation. However, the two of them did not marry spontaneously after all. They got to know each other during their shared hobby at Akaflieg Frankfurt at the Ring Ziegenhein site. Christopher is also a flight instructor there, but he has not trained Marie, who started gliding four years before. “But he let me go for the first solo flight,” says Marie. In the meantime they have covered big distances together in the Duo Discus. With two LS4s they also covered distances up to 600 km. Sometimes the tasks were distributed differently: At the German championship of the 18m class in Stendal Marie was Christoph's helper. In Bitterwasser they now share an Arcus cockpit. Almost a 1000 k flight is already in the flight log.
After two weeks of gliding, they will go with a camper with a roof tent on a discovery tour through Namibia.

Die Hängerreihe hatte ihre Mäuler schon lange weit aufgesperrt am Mittwoch, um endlich die Flugzeuge aus Bitterwasser aufzunehmen. Aber erst einmal musste der Zoll in die Container schauen.
