Perlan II live
Hi all,
The Perlan 2 glider just launched for a last test flight in the Sierra. There is a possibility of wave as well. After this we ship to Argentina next week. You can follow real time tracking on Virtual Cockpit. If using a cell phone screen, the map is below the gauges. The link is http://perlanproject.cloud/VirtualCockpit.html Perlan Soars! Jackie

Looks like they landed at around 345 Eastern time. I think they made it up to around 30,000 feet, but the better visible secondary and tertiary wave bands looked further east of their position. Great to watch live

32,500' attained yesterday. From Perlan 2 "flight cancelled for today (Aug 1) due to strong gusting winds. May fly tomorrow, weather permitting."
