Which decade? Just kidding, but the name is well known of course.
Problem with some of the club and state web sites is that information
is not quite complete. For straight distances, the landing point is
not listed.

The object of this exercise is to bring Colorado's Milton Award up to
date. I have anecdotal tales of many flights, but some happened in
banner years, so were eclipsed by epic efforts.

Les flying with this group?
