Afterburner

And again a thousand k day in Bitterwasser. Johannes Kammerer flies them non-stop with his Ventus 2cxM. Yesterday he immediately added another to his 25th jubilee 1000 k. A long line of convergence under a huge spreaded cloud helped to its success.

Nothing for free

Thousand kilometer flights were always in the scoring for the Bitterwasser pilots on the last few days. But they were not given to them. The wind slowed down at more than 60 kph and yesterday thunderstorms forced the pilots to the very edge of the flight area.

Generations meeting

Does that exist in any other sport? In Bitterwasser there are generations between the oldest and the youngest pilot. The poles are made up of Bitterwasser Cup winner Eric Schneider at 20 and Klaus Reinhold at 81.
