EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph showcases the Schempp-Hirth VTC Open Cirrus BZ, with Manufacturer Serial Number (MSN) 127 and British Gliding Association (BGA) registration number 1834, circa 1980. The Schempp-Hirth VTC Open Cirrus BZ was a popular glider model during its time, known for its sleek design and advanced features. The "Open" designation indicates that the cockpit was open, providing the pilot with an unobstructed view and an immersive flying experience. The Schempp-Hirth VTC Open Cirrus BZ was a favorite among glider pilots for its exceptional performance and maneuverability. Its wingspan measured approximately 17.5 meters, and it had a glide ratio of around 42:1, making it an efficient and agile glider in the air. The cockpit was designed to accommodate one pilot, and it was equipped with a variety of instruments and controls to ensure a safe and enjoyable flight. Gliding has been a popular recreational activity and competitive sport since the early 20th century, and the Schempp-Hirth VTC Open Cirrus BZ was a significant contribution to the world of aviation. This photograph captures the essence of the gliding experience, with the pilot poised at the controls, ready to take off and soar through the sky. The open cockpit, the expansive view of the horizon, and the sense of freedom and adventure are all on full display in this classic image.
