XC Flights INTO Colorado 1997-2005

[Frank Whiteley]

If you, or some you know, made a XC flight originating outside of
Colorado AND terminating in Colorado during calendar years 1997-2005,
I'd like to hear about it.

Must be veriable by some means.

Which decade? Just kidding, but the name is well known of course.
Problem with some of the club and state web sites is that information
is not quite complete. For straight distances, the landing point is
not listed.

The object of this exercise is to bring Colorado's Milton Award up to
date. I have anecdotal tales of many flights, but some happened in
banner years, so were eclipsed by epic efforts.

Les flying with this group?

At least three Arizona Soaring Association members have flown to
Colorado in the past five years. Hans Heydrich flew his Ventus B from
Phoenix and landed just short of Durango on August 10, 2002 and then
flew back to Phoenix from Durango the following day. Both 500 km+
flights. I still have his personal account if you need details.
