03.28.2007: 2007: A good year for Antares
Admittedly, 2007 may not have been the nicest of years here in Zweibrücken. On the other hand, it was a year, in which our customers could experience many great flights. Quite often the excellent performance of the Antares could be used to set new records and win competitions. And thus, 2007 was also a quite positive year. With this we would like to express a heartfelt congratulations, and would like to - also as an incentive for 2008 - present a list with some of the more significant achievements performed in Antares sailplanes last year.
