Remarkable 1-26 flight

Congrats to Doug Levy (Hangman) who completed a 716km (445sm) OLC
straight-out in his 1-26A. From his Inyokern, California launch to a
landing in Deeth, Nevada, that's about 400 statute miles point-to-
point. That's also a lot of work to get to someplace like Deeth, which
Google only describes as a "community or populated place."

Check it out on the OLC, July 11.

I worked for a while with someone who grew up in Deeth. He and his
high school companions used to say the local expression was: "one
letter away from death."

WOW!!!

nice flight, congrats Doug! Pretty cool to see a 1-26 listed as the
winner of the day on the OLC!
