Two of us flew a declared 750K mission out of Post Mills VT yesterday and I am now wondering if this was a first in the Eastern US. Previous 750s I know of in Eastern US were all flown using extended ridge runs.

Okay... Barry Jaeger and Dick Andrews straight out flight in the Arcus M last year (over flying a 750K goal),. and coincidently a 750K declared triangle yesterday. John Lubon and maybe Dan Reagan straight out to a goal from Ohio in 2013. Anyone else?

Technically Barry and dick took off West of the mississippi. If that's how you're defining the east.

No wonder the soaring is so good there :-).
