You better tell the people at the SSA so they can correct their records.
* * For example, they need to take away from Fossett the national multi-place altitude record he set in 2006. The SSA website shows this Oregon state record (multi-place altitude) already is held by Gary, so he is beating himself. Hey, Greg, I'm just the messenger. Check out the FAI rules for verification and/or ask the Badge Lady. Feel free to tell her about your concern, but be advised this change has been previously published in the Badge and Records section of Soaring magazine. Regarding what the SSA site says, as well as what independently published state record sites say, it's all volunteer maintained. The validity of state records is directly dependent upon the individual State Record Keeper's knowledge and application of the current rules. Regarding Fosset's "national" record, the FAI still santioned Class- specific altitude records back in 2006. If that record remains ultimate perhaps it should be reclassified as a "General" category record. (As a personal note, however, I don't abide to the concept of U.S. "national" records being set outside U.S. territory. That's no different than setting a Vermont state record flying over Nevada). If Gary beat himself, as you say, then technically (and specifically correct) what he set is a new Oregon State altitude record, General Category. For that I, too, congratulate him. Ray |
