As reported in the Austin American-Statesman, Gary Osaba flew a 615
mile (~989.7 km) flight on July 24, 2008 from Zapata, Texas to near
Lorenzo, Texas. It was reported as a "freestyle distance" flight,
direct distance is about 490 statute miles, so perhaps a free distance
with turn points is the attempt? Despite the ambiguity of the news
account, the article is well documented and photographed. Seehttp://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/07/24/0724gl....
Congratulations Gary! Please, when you have a chance, let us know some
details about this flight.
Regards,
John
