The '''Scheibe Bergfalke II/55''' is a two-seater, mid-wing glider aircraft. Following its first flight in 1955, the Bergfalke was primarily used as an ab-initio trainer aircraft, but also for competitive long-distance flights. Due to its low glide ratio, it is today regarded as an oldtimer only used for training and leisure. | The '''Scheibe Bergfalke II/55''' is a two-seater, mid-wing glider aircraft.
