SZD 55 beats 1000 km

[[email protected]]

On May 6 in Mifflin, PA 2 SZD 55-1 flew over 1000 km on the
Pennsylvania ridges. The flight took over 8 hours and the pilots landed
3 minutes before sunset in open field. Way to go SZD 55 pilots. Take a
look at the OLC site for more details of the flights.

... and without water!

For the Canadian pilot it may be a Citizen Record flight.

Mifflin is so much fun!

We would dump water pass Cumberland anyway.
It wasn't strong day.Wind south of Petersburg was less 9 mph.
We just told everyone we'll fly 1000 so we had to do it.

Well, I like that logic! Guys and girls, I have an
ASW19 and I am going to fly a 3000km triangle. I better
get cracking..
