Default 4-3-2005 Minden wave- 1170 sm

Gordon just reported landing at Bishop after approx
1170 miles. He
turned around 20 sm north of Bishop and pulled spoilers
from 26,000 to
land before dark.

If there is any glider pilot in the world who needs
to put lights on his ship, it is this guy...

Gordon proves that once you've got it...you've
REALLY got it...

I hope he puts his flight on OLC - for the
European pilots to see the excellent conditions
in the US.

You guys in the Northern hemisphere can have the summer weather now - in South
Africa we have about had it with the rain and cloud. Winter might be the best
part of the year at this rate...
