Hollister to the Mexican border

[Ramy]

On Saturday 6/21, Eric Rupp flew his DG300 from Hollister (Bay Area,
California) to the Mexican border near Mexicali, landing at Calexico,
over 400 miles from Hollister. This was a new record and an epic
flight which several of us were trying to achieve for many years.
Congratulations Eric, way to go!

How is 400 miles a record distance?
A new "Departing Hollister" Record?

Here is a satellite picture from that same day. Looks like one could
have kept going
south of the border and had a cloud street going maybe half way down
the length
of the Baja peninsula. Wonder if someone will try that flight some
day? Or has it
already been done?
