Long flights in a 1-26..,,,,sheesh.....while I have done so, my body can't cope anymore......I still want to do a 1K from Middletown, NY as well as a diamond climb (last I looked, 6 in NYS).
Thus I can state I did all badges and a 1K from my home field.
Altitude diamond is very hard, 1K is a bunch harder.
The "real UH" and I have done almost everything from Middletown......

Yes, some I did was done in glass, but some were out and back so sorta negates the L/D..........UH did a lot from our field way back when.
UH diamond climb was was off field, his 1K was part of the "OMG" flight from Newcastle decades ago at a contest.

Regardless, I hope to sorta match him....this is all east coast.

Yes, we are related, so......yes, I am biased.

Anyone doing long flights in a 1-26.....kudos to them......I have flown against "the Schwartz"...... he is an ironman....

Hey Ron........;-)


Come on up to the Mt. Washington Wave camp to take care of that diamond climb... not sure you want to start much lower than UH though!
