Pilot carried away by the Elbe No, there hasn’t been a spectacular emergency landing on the Elbe, thank goodness. But having spent many years on the world’s runways, Roland Koch has settled down in Dresden as a ferryman for the DVS – and taken to his job on the Elbe like a duck to water.

Born in Jena, Roland Koch grew up near an airfield in Zwickau. Watching the gliders there as a little boy, he dreamt of flying too. And many years later, when he was called up for
the army, his dream would come true. He decided to become an officer, which also gave him the opportunity to become a pilot.
