Default new world-record for Steve Fossett (USA) and Terry Delore

There were some issues with the data integrety. I hope
that they were able to sort them out. Both pilots were
estatic after landing and had quite a tale of long
blue holes for completion. OLC or not quite a feat
for the day!

Too bad they didn't post to the OLC...

IMHO, that should be a requirement for all record and
perhaps even
badge claims. These flights then would be available
for all to study
and learn.
