Default 1000km in a 1-26

Well done Ron. On the ruler on Google maps it looks like 306Km from
start to turning point, and almost 14 hours in the air. It looked towards
the end that he was going north into Indian Country, but maybe the wind had
dropped by then. It must be the longest 1-26 flight.

Will be interesting to see the full report, to see what height was reached,
and what type of lift was used.. Ridge, Thermal and/or Wave?

ridge day with nearly maximum available daylight.
