One of the GREAT flights in the soaring history of the USA to date by
any standards . WELL DONE to Gordon and Hugh on this outstanding
flight - obviously planned and executed to perfection.
From all us envious Cross Country Pilots in the flat country of
Indiana.


Just spoke with a friend out in Minden. Reno 2012 will be a place to
put on your calender for the SSA convention. The presentation and
pictures will be worth your trip.

They carried battery's with total amp hours of 80, plus 2 O2 bottles
for 80 cubic feet. Amazing.

This flight of Ohlmann, Klaus DE (NI) 3020.75 km. was done Jan 21,
2003.
