Hat's off to Geoff Pratt!

Everyone must be too dumbstruck to reply....


Yup.

I think that's one of the most outstanding soaring achievements, ever.


100% agree. A flight that was never done before.

Pictures! We need pictures!


Have you seen this flight on Google Earth? Even more impressive than
the graphics on OLC - about half of it was flown over the open sea
(and far away from the coast) - fascinating!
