On Saturday the weather was already good allowing a couple of 1000km flights to be performed above Germany. But Sunday was predicted to have better weather in a larger area. A cloud base of more than 2600m and climb rates above 5m\/s made the day the best of the year so far.<\/p>\n

Taking-off very late, Holger decides to go for a good rank in the German Bundesliga. A good ranking requires a high average speed in a window of 2,5 hours. The task started at Bruchsal airfield. With his LS8-e neo “71” Holger flew to Bamberg in the North of Nuernberg. Despite of the head wind, he was able to set a high speed due to wonderful cloud streets and high average climb rates. The next turn-point was close to Pirmasens in the very West of Germany. Back in Bruchsal Holger closed the flight with an average speed of 141km\/h. What a day!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A last trip to Wallduern allowed completing a 830km OLC-Plus flight with 130km\/h average speed! What if he had taken-off earlier!?\u00a0<\/p>\n

With Stefan Goeldner<\/a> and Dirk Stroebl<\/a> two more DG employees were able to fly more than 120km\/h with their LS8 neo.<\/p>\n

71 flights above 1000km and countless flight close to this distance show how really good this day was. Alexander Mueller marked the top of the ranking with his EB-29 and more than 1.300km. But the second rank is maybe even more impressive. Eric Schneider from Hammelburg flew 1.116km with an LS8 neo!<\/p>\n

Holgers Back’s brother Jochen<\/a> finished the first 1000km flight of his career on LS10 “71” taking-off in Nastaetten, close to Frankfurt. Well done!<\/p>\n

We send out best regards and congratulations to all Pilots!\u00a0<\/p>\n
