Default SZD 55 beats 1000 km

... and without water!

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

Mifflin is so much fun!

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.
