Default May 1986 World Record Story

On 02May 1986, the following pilots completed a 1362.68 KM triangle:

Karl H. Striedieck - ASW 20
John C. Seymour - ASW20
Robert L. Robertson - Ventus
Thomas L. Knauff - Nimbus 3
Leonard Roy McMaster - ASW 20

All except Thomas Knauff flew together. I'm looking for the write up
of this flight that I once read, written by all pilots. It is one of
the most interesting and best written stories I've read and I can't
find a copy of it, since someone in my office took off with mine.

If anyone has info on where I can get a copy, I'd be appreciative. I
can't even remember which issue of Soaring it was in or who gets
credit for writing it.
Thanks
