How many 300s, 500s or diamond heights have you done?
We all do these tasks maybe many many times, but would it be nice if say when. You do 50 300s or 25 diamond heights there should be a new award? Maybe a diamond with some scrambled egg underneath the badge or say for 300s and 500s maybe the same sort of thing? Just a thought so we can admire these hot shot pilots! We get these awards once, but would it be nice to get some extra awards for doing the tasks numerous times? More crap from Defendi? |

It's cold up there! And, where I fly, a diamond climb from circuit
altitude would require exceeding FL240 and that would require a different oxygen setup and coordination with ATC. Also, where I fly (the US Southwest) 300 km flights are routine, 500 takes a better day, but we do them all the time, as well. To limit that, we'd have to conform to badge rules and that would become tedious. Once was enough for me. I now just fly wherever the lift takes me. Having said the above, I will still marvel when someone tells me that he's accomplished, say, 100 500 km straight out flights!
