Decent Flight

I had a pretty good flight last Saturday. Was on pace to fly another
120-150 miles, but overflew the conditions and ran into the stagnant
remains of an old front that had been infecting the pahandle region
for several days.

Some inaccuracies in the article, as always, but it is a new world
record by some 100 miles.

Hi Gary,

Congratulations! Well done! I've never seen a soaring article in the media
that included a map of the flight and even a barogram trace. Cool!

What glider were you flying?

"decent" he says, HA!

Great flight and congratulations Gary!

Man! That must have been some momentum!

Seriously, awesome flight Gary. You remind me why I hang on to my
Woodstock for years when I don't get to fly it much. As you've said,
it's one of the best kept secrets in soaring.

Quite an achievement and what an experience!

Great. Still flying that nice LS-3 Larry?

Hi Gary,

This may be a stupid question, but I thought the maximum difference between
the start and finish had to be 3281 feet (1000 m), but I see your tow was
quite high. Did you have to take a big distance penalty?

It is an amazing flight!
