I love how this is starting to get main-stream press as well! Fun to see gliding in the news not involving an "incident"... http://www.theatlantic.com/technolog...dakota/283883/ It has been so fun to watch throughout the day. Sure started off slow the first 5 hours and now it looks like they are making great progress. I know they are equipped for flying at night, but how far are they willing to go in the dark?!?!? Exciting!  Bruno - B4 I've been stuck to the computer for HOURS! It's been incredibly exciting, nail biting! Such a long struggle over bear lake, transponders died, they come screaming across the Wind Rivers at 200 mph diving through the sink for Riverton then hang a hard right into the wave just when the transponders come back.... Sun going down... EPIC, Just EPIC!
