Boettger-Bennett 2,200 KM record flight from Minden

One of the GREAT flights in the soaring history of the USA to date by
any standards . WELL DONE to Gordon and Hugh on this outstanding
flight - obviously planned and executed to perfection.
From all us envious Cross Country Pilots in the flat country of
Indiana.

Just spoke with a friend out in Minden. Reno 2012 will be a place to
put on your calender for the SSA convention. The presentation and
pictures will be worth your trip.

They carried battery's with total amp hours of 80, plus 2 O2 bottles
for 80 cubic feet. Amazing.

This flight of Ohlmann, Klaus DE (NI) 3020.75 km. was done Jan 21,
2003.

#711.

I believe there are pilots even in areas where the thermals are
booming, and the ridges strong that are STILL envious!
I am waiting for the trace...I want to express my amazement at this
GREAT achievement. Not only the planning, but the execution of the
flight. When I am running a contest in Inyokern later this year, I am
going to be constantly amazed at this flight! Congratuations on your
flight !
