Default 500 km Triangle at 306 km/hr in Argentina

I just received an e-mail from Argentina that contained the text below.

"Today, Dec 22nd 2006 at 1:00 AM UTC, Klaus Ohlmann called me on the phone
just after landing to let me know he have made a 500 Km flight at 306 km/h
on average in a Nimbus 4DM... this could be the first above 300 km/h and for
far, the fastest glider flight made under FAI rules."

306 km/hr = 190 mph = 165 knots

That is an amazing feat!

Congratulations Mr. Ohlmann!!!

Merry Christmas,

Paul Remde
