Dennis Tito's flight

[[email protected]]

Anybody else notice Dennis Tito and Morgan Sandercock pulling off a 15 hour, 33 minute 2,620.6 km flight on 12/20 in Argentina? 168.5 km/h average speed at altitudes up to 26,500 msl. Longest flight I have heard of in at least ten years (but I could be wrong.) Self launched in the jet powered Arcus J from Bariloche at sunrise and landed at sunset. Fantastic accomplishment!

This may be the second longest OLC flight ever (only Klaus' 3000km greater)?

Jim Payne’s record flight in Minden 2015 was over 2,900 km. 1,000 km out and return of it in a less than 4 hrs!

Keith Essex did 2674km from Minden a couple of years ago too.
All great flights.
