Hmm. From the phone number, Schempp-Hirth has moved their offices to western Iowa. Either that, or they are now using a burner phone for all their business. Heck, Greg. Call the number at a time appropriate for first thing in the morning in Germany! See if the person sounds very German when they talk!

I periodically receive a similar letter purporting to come from Soaring NV, which I have never been to.
