Among Campbell's many other lofty accomplishments are his 1981 Ultralight
World
Record High Altitude flight to 21,210 feet over Lakehurst, New Jersey

Really? Wouldn't the FAI know about it? A google search "FAI Campbell"
comes up with a Sue Campbell, but I didn't see a James. What am I missing?

All official aviation related world records are maintained by the FAI. You
can view records at http://www.fai.org/records

When viewing the link, the first thing I noticed is that the FAI does not
have an "Ultralight" category. However, if you check airplanes under 300
kg/piston powered, you will not find him as the current or historical holder
of the an altitude record. The same is true for the Microlight category.

I just noticed Steve Fossett's glider altitude record flight does not appear
in http://www.fai.org/records. However, I am sure it will be there in the
near future. (http://records.fai.org/gliding/pending.asp)

This statement is false.

FAI only records aviation records for which it has chosen to establish
categories. It does not maintain "all official aviation related world
records."

The NAA has some aviation-related records that FAI doesn't keep track of.
Guinness World Records has others as well. That's easy to verify.

FAI only records the records that it recognizes. For example, FAI does not
recognize microlight records for speed over a recognized course, but the NAA
does recognize those.

Still trying to prove intelligence? Notice the word "barograph" in the
