Perlan used to have a newsletter you could sign up to, but that's
become rather hit & miss in the last year. OTOH the blog seems to get
updated whenever there's something to report.

When Perlan is flying, there's a "virtual cockpit" here...

Does anybody know what today's flight was about?

I caught it, by trying out the 'virtual cockpit' URL, at a bit below
12000 and some distance south of El Calafete. Initially it seemed to
almost hold height before gliding back to the field, shedding height and
landing.
