Hey Tony . . . Nice flight! I love old-fashioned straight-outs with a crew trying to keep up!

Next, try to fly from Wichita to Marfa. Maybe head southwest then contact the Marfa dry line and fly south.
Just need to hop over the Davis Mountains to the Marfa Plateau (5,000' msl.)
Steve Leonard got close last year with his flight to Pecos.

Just let me know you're on your way so I can lay out the red carpet.

I make that about 850km wind assisted. Nice flight. We cant do that sort of
thing in the uk, the landmass isnt big enough!
I pitty the poor retrieve crew - he is probably still driving.
Well done.

We're about half way home now Nigel, after half a days driving. John and Mike are troopers for sure. Having a good time!
