A flying club on the Hahnweide gliding site in Kirchheim/Teck 20km east of Stuttgart in south Germany organises this biennial event which took place for the 12. time on 05-07.09.03. Herewith my pictorial recollections, but bear with me on the quality as they are slides scanned on a flatbed scanner.
Fine weather conditions ensured a well attended event, as this general overview will testify. There is always at least one Ju 52/3m present for joyrides; in fact three of them (all from Switzerland) were there on Friday.
