Editors note: W&W is happy to share news of a Gliding Club milestone from our friends in Germany.
The Utscheider Gliding Club celebrated its 50th anniversary on Sunday, September 1, 2024, hosting a festival at their airfield home in the South Eifel region of Germany. Activities included sightseeing flights, balloon rides, and a potpourri of aircraft on exhibit for gander and gaze.
