Guys

You're not looking closely enough

From www.gfa.org.au home page, choose GFA Information link, then in
the table that appears, choose the one that says Australian Records
Information. This is a link to a separate site maintained by David
Jansen, who is the GFA FAI Records Officer.

Look in the Australian Records - Open category and you'll find Rick's
Absolute altitude of 10058 m and L. Armour's Gain of Height of 7750 m.

Rick is still earnestly chasing the Gain of Height crown whenever the
wave at Bunyan looks promising.

Cheers

Also a gliding and VMS dude from way back !

Record held by Rick Agnew of Canberra ~33,000 feet.

But like you say, nothing on the GFA website, or anywhere else I have
found...

Does anyone have a pointer to AU gliding alt records? None
on the GFA's web site, distance and speeds only.

tnx
