David almost got home from Benalla in 2008. See link below.
He's always looking for the opportunity to go long.

Thanks for the link, Tony, and thank you David Jansen for the excellent (w.
pictures taken at crucial times and situations during the flight, no less)
writeup! A Majorly Nifty, Epic Flight...epic at multiple levels. Epic straight
line distance aside, this is the sort of flight every XC glider pilot vividly
remembers for all its uncertainties, personal-limits-expanding situations, and
gamut of emotions throughout the flight. Whether 10, 100 or 1000 miles, this
is why so many rate XC soaring as life-enhancing!!!

YMMV...
