Default 2000km Distance Flight Underway Now (USA)

As of 3:30p, Gordon Boettger and Hugh Bennett flying a Duo Discus, are
on the third leg entering the Owens Valley.. Conditions are, as they
say in the meteorology world, SCREAMIN', as they've been at max speed
speed most of the time. Follow the flight on the spot page:

There was a bit of a hiccup at Mono Lake on the 2nd leg, but they got
past that. Target landing is at least Winnemucca for about 2100km,
but with extra luck they can hit McDermitt for 2300km or so.
