Good on you, Tony! I believe NG-1 was built by Jerry Nedouer, we tried
for our Diamond distance flights on the same day back in 1976? From
Minden to somewhere in the Owens Valley to Hawthorne. Jerry mad it and
completed his Diamond badge. I landed short in my Duster, .......... L/
D is a relative thing.
