Our kitchen team of the Fliegergruppe Wolf Hirth is looking forward to welcoming you!

The first pilots have just completed their task. Congratulations to the first returners of the day!

While our pilots are now flying their challenging tasks of the day, we invite you to rest in the hangar of the Fliegergruppe Wolf-Hirth and to strengthen yourself culinary with food and cool drinks.

Today we have Weißwürste (white sausages) with pretzels on offer. You can also choose from steaks, schnitzel, red sausage, various salads, french fries... All freshly prepared by our club members.

Of course, there are also delicious freshly baked cakes on offer today:

Please visit us, we are looking forward to see you!

The last competition day has been started! We wish all pilots a successful day.

Here is a photo from today's briefing.

All competitors are in good mood and full of high expectations. The weather conditions are supposed to be good with cloud base forecast above 2000 metres in the afternoon. Here is the hand-painted forecast picture from our meteorologist Dr Josef Dahlem (Jupp).

The competition organisers have chosen a very interesting task for the end of the competition: In all classes we will fly an AAT. The minimum flight time for all classes will be 4 hours.

Here is the task of the day for the Open Class:

 The average distance of the Open Class is about 480km/h. The maximum possible distance using all turning circles is 645km.

 The exact tasks of the individual classes are here HERE.

Since the pilots can choose their own flight path within defined limits and will therefore fly different route lengths, it will remain exciting until the end. The winner of each class will be the one with the highest average speed.

The start time will remain at 11.15 am. If the thermal conditions are suitable, there will be a very early launch for all classes.
