return, and the lack of cloud markers, they had a hard time finding
wave to close the course. *At one point over Air Sailing Gordo said
they were standing still above the ground while indicating 80 kts
airspeed, and he wanted to avoid landing out at Reno International
again so he headed back to Minden. *This is Hugh's longest flight yet

natrional records then?
